Personally if you want drag radials get bfgs they hook way better than the nittos.

And will wear a hole in your wallet when you replace them 3 times a year .

If your planning on driving more than 5k a year...get the nitto dr's. They have great dry traction and decent wet (as long as you have tread left). They will hook much better than any other radial tire besides bfg's...and should last 15k+ miles.

both millhouse and vexracing are correct, it depends on how bad you want traction, or at what cost, the bfg 315's are a lot better and wider, but will not last more than 3-5 months.

it really all depends on what u have done to the car. i had a sn95 gt with NT555's, 275,40,17. NOT the drag radials, and the car hooked great. had trickflow heads, f cam, and t.f. intake.
