I'd really like to know if the Nitto's are better for the street then the MT's. without making the switch. My Nitto's hook pretty good but with all the tork I'm about to put through them I'm woorried! Traver

hands down Hosiers. Buddy of mine has a set and foot braking a stalled auto with a 3000+ launch the tires dont scream, slip slide or anything, he just has an instant 3 car lead. WAY better than my MT et streets.

My M/T drs (275/40/17s) hook DAMN well on the street. Definitly a better griping tire then Nittos, but my last set of Nittos lasted for quite some time!

the 325/45/17 M&H's look good, and hook real well on the street, i just need to get to the track. they measure out to 28 inches tall, 10.2 inches of tread. since they run smaller than all other 325's, they fit nicely on a stock 9 inch wheel. a stock 275 size tires has 10 inches of tread for a stock wheel. so it makes since that with 10.2 inches of tread, it fits so well.

M/T for hooking the best out of the 3. Nitto for a DD car because they do better in rain & wear. & BFG if you wanna **** your pants But Hoosier if your a serious drag racer at the track.

"You really should have included the Hoosier DR's"

For the track only they are the best hands down. Better than the MT Steet Radials I used to have. Not only that but they are about 7 pounds lighter per tire. That is rotational weight we are talking about so it has a bigger affect.

so really i guess it depends on car and what the max you can go with your wheel diameter...sure I could get a 305 or larger and get a full slick and MT and/or Hossier QT pro....but no fitment for my car...unless i start cutting stuff up...LOL

Even BFG is out of site for an 18....so really the car limits...and I get a little rub even but only when i cut it sharp...so..

thats my reason...I woul LOVE TO HAVE A FULL OUT MT DRAG SLICK!!!!!! just want it in my specks! LOL

Should I buy a Glock 9mm or a bazooka?
It depends on what it's being used for.
