The Nitto's just take ALOT of burning out to get them nice and sticky... Went thru them pretty quick. (just compare the compund of the 2 tires and youll see why)
I just run MT's 255/50/16's on a stock TA rim when I go to the track (until I get my bogarts) and can run 1.5X 60' all day on motor and run a 1.45 60' the one time I sprayed out of the hole. So, the MT's can hook.

Well, the MT's I have now, is going on there 2nd season. Prolly around 10-14 pass's. Still have around 1/2 tread left.
According to your mods in yoru sig, you could just do a small burnout on the MT's to where you get a little smoke, get the crap off the tires and still hook. If you break'em loose, try a little longer burnout. Just something you have to play around with till you find what works.

if your looking for a DD drag radial then nitto would be your best bet, it will alast twice as long and give you good traction. The traction may not be AS good , but the extra miles really pays off IMO. My new set should eb arriving in the mail tomorrow FWIW
