Nitto's are on.

Got the 245/50/16 555R Nittos.

With the control arms, frontend weight reduction and the lakewood shocks. The nittos shine, 1st gear is an absolute rocket even with only 302 RWHP.

nitto 555R's they hook damn good. buddy had em on his 426rwhp TA but his were 315/35/17. They didnt wear to quick either.

they were night and day on my T/A...


yet to have a drag radial tire on a 5.0 though...

They solved my traction problem up to 70mph and cured it with no traction problems even in 1st gear. Mine started showing wires after 9-10k...but I drive semi-aggressive (cornering).

unfortunately they were marginal at best for me. Better than a regular radial though. It's good that they are working for you. Congrats!

They blew chunks on my buddies car They helped, true, but they didn't hook on the street or track like expected. He dyno'd like 360 something on the wheels. BFG's on the other hand are the sickest. Thats what I got. They don't have the drag radial domestic and import world records for nothing.

if you like the nittos hook then you should try the m/t et radials they hook like slicks.

my buddy has mt drag radials on his car and those thing bite like a pitt bull on crack

 

[Dbeck002]

I'm sure the MTs are better but i put 70 miles a day on my car. If i really wanted to i could burn 1st gear but i know how to launch

How much did those tires run you?

 

[tbi92rs]

I use BFG's on my Stang and hook rather well.....except for my old tired suspension (havent triedo ut the new suspension yet )

My roommate uses Nitto 555R's 275/60/R16's on his 383 Camaro and although better than street tires, they still dont hook worth a damn....we plan on slapping my BFG's on differant wheels and trying them on his car in about 2 weeks or so and see how much he'll gain

MT ET Streets are pretty much just slicks. the NEW ET Street Radial is supposedly pretty nasty, though I have no experience with them....yet
