Best Drag Radial for DDriver?

Just want everyones opinion (from experience) on the best "sticky for racing but good daily driver" tire.

I am currently running 315 Nitto's.. They last me 1yr on a DD car with 10-12 track passes on them. Driving in the rain is OK if you have tread left.. if not.. you will end up losing control.

I am thinking of going with MT DR's /315's instead to switch things up a little. Any opinions on MT DR's for a DD? Thanks guys

Everybody told me how the BFG drags wore out fast, I have had a set since X-Mas and they still look brand new. I have put maybe 5-6k on them since then. They hook better than the Nittos and just as well as the MT's.

The MTs are fine on the highway. I've gotten caught in the rain twice on an 80 mile trip on the highway with them and they were surprisingly much better than I was expecting. Just gotta be a little careful. I had 255/50/16s though, not sure how the 315s would be.
