The nittos do fine but the new M/T comes in 275 40 17 sizes so if ya want the best hooking made and can drive on the street then the M/t drag radial is for ya but nittos are still pretty dang good and will last a little longer.

I use 17" Nittos and they work well with half decent track prep. I'm kind of undecided on what to do this season, not sure if I want to run 17" M/Ts. Or buy some 15x10 Prostars for the rear to match my skinnies (my 17" wheels are heavy as hell).
