Well I think it all comes down to opinion. I have BFG drag radials on mine and love them. I may be trying the Mickey Thompson DRs here soon, though, as I have seen pretty great results with them. M&H makes a radial wrinkle wall tire now too, but I haven't really heard too much about them.

I've tried both Nittos and BFG's, and for traction the BFG's are better. Since you're not going to be using them on the street, I'd go with the BFG's. Haven't tried the MT's though.

Hoosier DOT radials are more like radial slicks... they have 0 tread on them! I reallu wonder how they got a DOT approval

BUT, I am sure they must hook like glue!
