"that isn't a drag radial, that's a road racing/auto-x DOT tire. those tires suck for drag racing compared to a 555R or a BFG-Drag."
I agree, I can't cut better than a 2.0 60-ft on the Nitto RII, but with a BFG-drag I was able to easily cut 1.91.
However for handling, the Nitto RII rocks.

Only drawback with these tires on my car is that the ride is very very harsh and the car loves to wander all over the road if the road is uneven or grooved.
My 555's wander, but not as much as my RII's.
Thanks for answering my question guys.
That's good to know too, because I plan on running 555r's in the rear and GSD3's in the front.
