Default nittos?

Alrite well my Raptor low-pro's sure look great...however when important races come around they dont help out at all. I was told the nitto radials will last the longest ( 12k+ if not driven hard on? )

I dont go to the track often at all, mostly street. My car from a dead stop is a joke, it spins even when feathering the throttle, the tires have good tread they just really arent drag racing tires. Would the nittos be the choice for me?


I do drive ALOT. 28 miles to work round trip every day. Would these last till say mid september? If they hooked pretty good ..I wouldnt mind buying another set in september? I only have bolt-ons and a 100 wet shot so Im not really making too much pwoer however the car kept wanting to break loose in second gear at about 40mph on the bottle. It has never done this before, I did drop the rear tire pressure a little ...I think a little too much.


All I'm asking is are Nittos what I really want? I just want a tire that will hook decent from a dead stop.

Thanks

They are what you want, just be careful in the rain with them ( driving 56 miles a day ).

Right. Mine are very bald right now and are up to the point where its not smart driving on the highway when its raining. When they have meat on them though, they're not bad at all, you just have to remember that you have drag radials back there.
