I like nitto's they stick & wear pretty good.
Not bad in the rain till there worn really.
Can't go wrong they seem to last longer than any other drag radial.

Nitto Drag Radials will work great, without running into enviromental issues.(I.E. Rain)

Mickey Thompson ET Streets are another option, as they have great traction, but are dangerous in bad wheather and cornering.

BFG Radials fall inbetween these two, but more towards the ET Streets, because they are less tolerant to bad weather, like the ET Streets.

I would reccomend the BFGs for you...

Hope this helps

The new Mickey Thompson drag radials look really promising.
