The nitto is more of a street tire when compared to the BFG. If all you care about is drag racing and you are limited to the two tires, I would go with the BFG drag radial.

And Nittos run narrow for their size. In case like this i would take the bfg for sure.

Hoosier is the way to go I would just get an extra set of rims and get a REAL tire and leave the nittos alone.
