true, the BFG's hook like a motha, but the nittos are the best for the street and if you get caught in any kind of rain. waiting for someone local to get the mickey thompsons so i can see how they do.

I just got a set of the new MT ET Street Radials. I cut my 60' time from 2.1 to 1.7. They are very very sticky. They have a nice sidewall and look very good. I would recommend them for anyone wanting a lot of traction.

If your car is a daily driver and driven in the rain a good bit then you might want to go with the Nittos. If you want to get the most traction at the track get the BFGs or the new Mickey Thompsons. The Nittos will also last longer.

Dude, I have the Mickey Thompson et street radials and they hook!!!! They are not that bad in the rain. I have over 400rwhp and it is very hard to spin! They will not last as long as the nittos but they are worth it.

*note i can spin the crap out of the regular et streets. i have always had a problem with hooking and for me at least i can forget about nittos im about to buy the et street DR's in a 255 50 16 i think the size is
I am running the 255 50 16 on my stock rim... I have never takin the tires to the track, that is how good they hook on the street. I am in total control. I think you should hook great at the track. Put it this way I kinda hurt the rear when I slamed it on the second gear shift when I was rolling from first. I hope you don't have a 10bolt.
I used BFG 255/50-16 DR for two years. They do hook really good for a N/A car, but when I sprayed a 150 shot off the line, they would spin. The best 60-ft I even got with them is 1.86. After that they seem to hold on. And I don't have alot of motor mods right now. I have M/T ET DRs at home right now. I will try them out in 4 weeks with alot more motor with nitrous.

i have the ET street radials by MT. and they hook like nothing else. Used to b able to roast tires on street till top of 2nd with all the other tires i had. Not with these. with 30pds n them i left from a 10 roll and they hook me dead on. and they might make a half revolution from a stop. but thats with no burnout and 30 pds.
