im fixing to order some drag radials but im caught between nittos and mickey thompson et streets. i like nittos cuz this is my daily driver but idk if they are gonna hook enough at the track. i only have jlt, tune, and o/r x pipe right now but 4.10s are going in next week. these will prolly be the only mods i will have for awhile.

If you have an extra set of rims for the drag tires do yourself a favor and get the MT's.

If you're planning on driving the MTs daily, don't get caught in the rain. The Nitto's handle pretty good in the rain.

MTs will hook better but not last as long

the Nittos are capable of decent 60s however they need heat!

M&Hs are pretty good from my limited experience with them so far. the mickeys hook like a SOB but are horrid in the rain. the nittos from my own experiences are among one of the worst tires i have ever had. they were a great street tire, but you had to roast and i mean ROAST them at the track to get them to hook at all.

if its your true daily driver, youd be better off getting a spare set of wheels for the Drag radials. drag radials at the most are good for between 10,000 and 15,000 depending on the brand and how much you use them at the track. i got about 2000 miles out of my MTs before they started showing major wear. but the nittos i had still looked great after 10K
