Default best traction w/out burnout?

Example: I'm in the middle of a 10 mile commute through town and am suddenly next to a Cobra who wants to run them. What tires will grab the best in this situation.


Don't flame: I'm just confused by all the conflicting posts when it comes to nittos on the street. Some people say they hook less than street tires without a burnout, others have said they do... Maybe I just don't understand tire dynamics.

Nittos are better then street tires even without a burnout, but BFGs need less warming up to be at their best because of the soft compound.

Nittos are way better then street tires.Just run them at 26psi.Street racing is usually from a roll anyways. I won't even run street(stock) radials on my T/A,that equates to slip and slide.

BFG's drag radials hook up better than Nitto's drag radials with or without a burnout.
