Default Reviews on DR's post your comments if you've had or have them

I'm looking to get some DR's but i want to get something thats going to be able to hook 500rwhp to the ground. If you have drag radials or have had them, then i'd like you to post the brand and your opinions on them.

I have MT et street IIs in 315/30/18 on my car and love them, they hook on the street, which is nice.

but dont drive them in the rain. Feels like ice.

You will be happier with M/Ts. I had Nittos and now M/Ts same size(315/35/17). Unless you want milage. You will get a little more out of Nittos.

M/T ET Street Radials hands down. Nittos are not nearly as good however they last alot longer.

I have had M/t, BFGs and nittos and i like all of them for different reasons. Nitto's last the longest. M/Ts hook the best at the track. My 17's BFGs Comp T/As hooked hard on the street when new. The BFG G-forces hook good on the street and track and last alittle bit.

I just switched from Nittos to M/T's. 315/35/17 and its a night and day difference between the two. The nitto's got awesome mileage and were great in the rain. My m/t's do just fine in heavy rain also, though I do feel like I have to drive 10 mph slower than with the nitto's. As for as hook no competition. I can hook 500+ from a 35 roll. My nitto's couldn't 410 from a 25-40 roll.

I had Mickey Thompsons and they are amazing. The trade off is they don't last very long and are HORRIBLE if you get caught in even a little rain. I went with Nitto DR's this time around and they are great but don't hook like the mickeys did. The Nittos handle the rain well and last longer so they are a better all around tire but when it comes to hooking its M/T's FTW.

Assuming you're driving on the street most of the time, about how many miles will M/Ts last?

yeap the 555R's. I dont know why but i break them loose so easy, and couldnt do that with the BFGs. And at the track they dont even compare, hands down BFG's. What PSI you have on yours?
