Depends how streetable you want to be - MTs are gonna be worse in the rain, but hook better.

I went from Nitto NT555R garbage. Then got Nitto NT05R. Hooked good. Then I switched over to 28" M/T ET Street Pros. Lets just say they lifted the front tire of my bolt on LS1 at the track.......

But that's a full on drag strip tire but I don't care I still DD on it. Have been since last February. But M/T ET street or Nitto NT05R will be a good choice. Id probably say the ET street hook better but the Nitto last longer & aren't that far off from the M/T. Just give them a good warm up lower the psi to 20 or so & your be good

ET street is best all around

Negative. NT05R = drag radial. NTO5 = ultra high performance street tire, used a lot for autox/rr.
