Default Nitto or BFG

Which tire is more preferred in a street/strip car with a 3200 stall converter? I put lca's and relocation brackets on but it'll still spin the tires. I was going to go with the Nitto 555RII's but I think I can get a better deal on the BFG drag radials. Any suggestions?

BFG's hook better on the track, but Nitto's are better in the rain. Track only use i would get BFG's, Street& track NItto's.

Still got a stock 10 bolt? If so only nittos for both. Theres always the chance of breaking it but its less then BFGs.
