The consenus will be MT ET Streets. They hook like mad. Street and strip.

If you want a track drag radial et streets are the way to go, if you want something for the street go Nitto's and if you want an in between go bfg's

Nittos probably have the best street manners for a Drad Radial.

Mickey Thompson Drag Radials perform the best though.

BFGs are decent on the track, suck on the street, I wouldn't ever recommend them.

I have nitto drag radials...my car has about 360 rwhp and is just perfect for the nitto's. With the 3400 stall I have and heating up the nittos really well to make them sticky, 1.5's 60 foot times are a breeze. I am on the stock rear end, so I am fairly easy at launch, but I wouldn't run nitto's if I had a Moser/9 inch/or strange and if I had more horsepower. I am only running them on a 16x8 wheel, so may be better with a wider set of nittos. With the way I am setup now any more horsepower and I think the nitto's would not be enough.

Nittos are best for street and arent that decent for track. But still do better than all weather tires obviously

MT ET street radials suck on street. I mean they are livable but had my car feeling sloppy and I went through them fast. 30 passes or so and they are almost fully bald ( I did a decent burnout every run)
