Default Traction

I drive only on the street but want to get the most traction and still get about 5-10K miles of street driving. I hear nittos don't grab too well. I was thinking about MT Sportsman Pro. I would like ET Street but think they will wear out too quickly. I will use the stock rims.

Go with BFG drag radials. Hook like glue on the street without a burnout. However you'll need to replace them about every 7 months.

i've heard nittos are great only thing is that you gotta warm em up a LOT for em to hook, but when you do they hook great, my friends pullin 1.700's on em right now(i know its not the best but he's got a cam+bolt ons only LT1, pushin 350 rwhp/365 tq) Good tires to an extent I think, you can keep a stock 10 bolt with em though i heard.

i drove my car for about 6 months with BFGs on the rear and have made about 30-40 track passes on them. They still have good tread too. I'd say that with normal street driving they could feasibly last 10-12k. Great tires IMO
