Default Which 17" drag radials to pick?

Ok here it is, walked out in the garage and one of the 275 nitto dr is flat. Going to have to order some new ones. I want some 315s but keep reading how it is stupid to run them on a 9.5 so I guess I will stay with 275. I like the new design of the mickey thompson dr but it is in a 315. What is everybody running that hooks good. Not crazy about the nittos I have, but I did see they have a newer design. Any suggestions and does the new nittos hook and last better?

The new Nitto's are SUPPOSED to hook really good. There is a pretty good write up about them in the new Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords. They dropped something like .4 on their 60' switching from an old 275 Nitto to a new 315 Nitto.

In a 275 DR you can get Nitto, MT, BFG, or Hoosier take your pick. Nittos will get the most miles where MT's and hoosier will hook the best.
