Default Which DR?

Now I know you see these often but im not looking for the common 315 or even 275 DR...I unfortunately only get to run a 245

I have a set of 17x8 Eagle Alloy 077's on the Z and they have nitto DR's on them now, though they will need to be replaced soon. So what 245 DR would you suggest? These tires/wheels will be on during the summer only but it is my DD so im thinking about staying with the Nittos but im wondering if you all have any better suggestions or opinons?

The car is only a bolt-on LT1, so I barely have enough power to burnout lol.

If the nittos are doing what you need them to do then i suggest sticking with them. all the other drag radials will wear out pretty quickly if you are daily driving on them

Yea thats what I figured, while they arent the best in terms of tracion I think they will be the best in practicality (sp?) for me. They arent expensive either which is always nice.
