Drag radial worthy of daily driver?
I live in Indiana and am looking for a good drag radial that will hook well. This radial needs to be able to be driven in rain from school to work. I was looking at the Nitto 555R, Yokahama's and Kumho's... Which would you guys go with? Thanks

Nitto drag radials are great for daily driving. I've put nearly 10k on mine in all types of weather and honestly think they've done better than any normal street tire I've tried. Only problem is they only last about 15k miles at best.

EDIT: My nittos stuck damn well. I also got 10,000 miles out of them even though the dealer put nearly 40psi in one and I had to replace them a tad early. Those miles were almost all stop and GO type driving.
