Decide wether or not you want a streetable race tire, or a racing street tire. Me thinks that you’re not going to enjoy a drag radial on a track with turns, as much as you would PS2’s or similar.

As far as drag radials go: MT DRs \> BFGs \>\>\>\> Nittos.

I ran ET streets on a slow 5.0 w/150 shot. They were 1/2 tread when I got em, lasted me ~2k miles. Stuck great on the street… never got it to the track.  
Threw a set of Nittos on the same car, might as well have been pep boys tires. Needed heating, and then were still too hard. meh.  
I ran BFGs on a different car, lil faster. Traction was def better then the Nittos, but I think the MTs were stickier. All weather traction was far better IMO.

Yea, inclement weather is skecthy at best. :lol:
