I am also choosing between these two, but am leaning toward the MT Street DR. I can't find any places to buy them other than Jegs.

if you want a tire that will last and hook decent, get the nitto's. If want a tire that will hook like a bitch, get the M/T's, but they will not last as long due to the softer compound.

If you are planning on doing daily driving get the Nitto's. If it will be just for the track get the ET's.

I'll be using mine for daily driving, which is probably a bad idea if it ever rains out....
