Im looking for some drag radials and keep coming across these nittos. Just wondering if people are running these, how they hook and whatnot. If you ran some let me know or have had some experiences with em. Thanks!

Yeah i was looking at the DOT hoosiers little cheaper than the M/T's. I was just wondering about them see what they were good for.

I just got 275 555R's on my car, on the street they're great, they're good at the track but you really need to do a fat burnout to make them stick hard. MT's are better but these are still good tires.

go mt's, my boy's z06 with 450 rwhp had absolutely no tire spin on 4k rpm launches.

Nittos are garbage if you ask me. People just pay for the name when it comes down to it. There a good cruising tire but for drag racing the performance isn't there. When my 5.0 was stock I could hook up till 3rd gear nitto extremes. To me the best dot tire to ride with on the streets is the m/t et street "radial" don't even need to heat those things up that's what I'm running now. Awsome tire worth the money
