My buddy has the Nitto drag radials, said he did a lot of research, and those were the best.

From what I've heard, the nitto dr lasts the longest, but is worse for traction that like a BFG drag radial. Definately do a search though.

i think the best would be a Mickey Thompson E/T drag radial or BFGoodrich

BF Goodrich are the cheapest, but they dont last as long compared to the Nittos or Mickeys.
There are also Hoosiers. I havn't heard anything about them though.

Nitto's drag radials are a great choice.

I have Nittos and when I went to the track was not to impressed. I had Mickey thompsons on my z28 last year and those seemed to hook alot better but they didnt last as long.

Ya the M/Ts rule but the biggest tire they make for my rim is 275/40/17 i have a 10.5 inch wide rim you think that will still be bueno. At least nitto and BFG have the 315s?

Their is nothing wrong with the Nitto DR's guys.
I had the Nitto DR's and I like them alot plus the
design of the tire looks really cool too.
