Default which tire?

i am looking to get a pair of new drag tires, here are my choices;
MT ET Streets 26x11.5x16
MT ET Street Radail 255/50R16
BFG Drag Radials 255/50R16
Nitto NT-555R 245/50/R16
i am looking for the longest lasting, basically best bang for the buck.

longest lasting are nittos. best performers are m/t drag radials without a question. you cant have the best of both worlds. if your concern is something that lasts and grips better than a street tire then get nittos. if you simply want the best radial tire for dry traction then look to no other than mickey's drag radials.

I don't know anyone that has had the Mt drag radials, but I've had Nittos and they suck. I'm much happier with the Bfg drag radials, but the mt's look good too. Just watch out for rain.
