Default Nitto DR

Will these help me out because I was spinning with my street tires.My car has 3.73 CAI Catback.I 60ft time was slower because I was spinning so I need to step up to some DR. I am asking because some people say they are good n some say they suck.Being a mostly stock car I was hoping the\y would work for me.

they hook well . though if you are to use these as a daily dirver you may want to take in consderation what kind of driving around you do . the nittos are made for drag racing , in a straight line . folks that take them on the interstate and try to go around turns fast will have the sidewall roll and may cut a tire . there are plenty of soft tires and being you have light mods you may want to cosider a sticky tire with a strong sidewall if you are a daily driver .
when i was just bolt ons i used some bfg kdw2s that are z rated for high speed and never spun at ther strip .
