I believe the Nitto's helped me out much more. Although, I went with the 315 Nitto Drag Radials. The Nitto's have lasted alot longer than I expected so I think they are definately worth the money. Driving on them in the rain as they near bald is not always the smartest idea. I think they still do better than most other drag radials (even in the rain). I would say go with the Nitto's. However, if you are looking for a tire strictly for the track I would say pick up a nice set of ET Streets. That should solve your traction problem.
