Default What tires should I get now?

Well I have a big nail in my nitto and they are about gone anyways, so its time for me to by some new ones. What should I get the MT radials or buy another set of Nittos? I usually cut 2.0 to 1.9s with the nittos also my car is a 6 speed. I have heard that alot of people don't like the MTs when they have a M6 but love them in the A4s. Also what size should I get I have 245/50R16 on the car right now.

I've heard good things about the MT drag radials, but never run them. They do say "no burnout required". I run either ET Streets or drags with my auto. If you don't dump the clutch at 6000 but rather modulate it out at a reasonable rate (easier on diff but harder on clutch), then the diff will last and the MT streets or drags will dead hook depending on your suspension and track prep. I run 26x10.5x15 streets or 26x8.5x15 drags.

1) the m/t radials need a good burnout.
2) stick cars dont like the m/t as much as autos. they dont take the shock as well but still light years ahead of nitto of bfg
3) i just went 1.50 60' on the m/t radials
4) i am an auto.
5) save up for a rearend and clutch if you decide to go with these tirs.
