I would say go nitto. A better streetable tire, I'm going with a nitto 245,50,60 555r their drag radial soon and what I've read are all good things. Just take it easy in the rain

MT will dominate the Nitto while racing. For your everyday driver, it would be wiser to go with the Nitto because it lasts longer and is safer in the rain.

nittos will last longer and be more forgiving in the rain

m/t will FAR out grip the nittos

for a daily driver go nitto, for a toy go m/t

If you want any kind of traction racing DO NOT!!! get Nittos,I hated mine they didn't grip any better than the stock Goodyears,so i switched them to BFG drags.Plus you have a bad *** 408 (which is next on my list

) so they would never grip for you.
M/T's all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nitto's for sure.

Although they will hook better, the M/T drag radials are not designed for ANY wet conditions.
