search would be your friend in this case... But to answer your question, they grab OK. They are not the best drag radial, but they better than most street tires. If you are not using them on the street, than get a different tire. Nittos are a great street drag radial, but if you only need a great drag radial, then go with the M/Ts or M&Hs

I love my Nittos. They worked well for me at the strip. I was hooking too hard, and bogging on 2.5k-3k launches. But, I still would've gone M/T's or some other if I was using them for track-only. I just wanted a DR that would give me long life for DD'ing, and not be too bad in the rain.
