He didn't ask what yall thought about a 200mph pull. He asked for a drag radial suggestion.

Now op I really like the nitto nto5r as my first choice. Second would be the mickey thompsons et street radials.

Even though he asked about DRs, he did state high speed highway pulling, so Actually he did.

"best DR tires highway pulling"

" Sometimes I go to 200mph

So what would you want to be changing lanes in at over 100mph, a DR or Comp track tire?

I am looking at the following options:

1) BFGoodrich KDW 2
2) Nitto NT05
3) Nitto NT05r
4) Nitto NT555r
5) Toyo Proxes TQ

I believe these are the five that are pretty tried and true tires for what your looking for. I myself am having a hard time picking the best one out of these five.

1st- why in the hell would you go 200mph on the street?
2nd- are you only going to do highway pulls or dead stop pulls also?

Why in the hell would you ever do 200mph more than 1 time?

If I owned a car geared for it, I might try it once... But only once. Then I would keep it more reasonable, 140 max or less.
