Default nitto or goodyear

hey guys i have 245 50 16 eagle gs d3 on right now. before when my car was stock they wouldnt spin at a launch cause they are very sticky and handle good in the rain. with my new mods i have to throttle at a launch or ill be spinning all day. Should i try nittos and which ones would be good for me, i hear you can break your rear end with drags.

If you have 361RWHP and TQ.. Definately get some nittos! Nitto 555R extreme drags will help you keep those tires grabbing the road. On a car with that much power it just doesn't make much since to run anything but some sort of soft tread compound, the Eagles are good, but just won't hook up like the nitto will.

Yes Nitto is what you need with that much HP.

get the BFG drag radial. I have had nittos, and didn't like them. Everyone has their own opinion, but I did get more miles out of my nittos if thats a concern

there is a chance of breaking your rear with nitto's...especially at your power level...i wouldn't get anything stickier than a nitto drag radial
