Best hooking tire on the street
Planning on buying a set of 325/60 M/T DR's because I cant afford another set of wheels right now, but I'm wondering whats a good hooking street tire, roughly the same size.
If it were the M/T's it'd suit well...

M/T's are by far the best hooking tire on the street!!
M/T= hook badass even w/ little to no rubber.
Nitto's = decent to mediocre, but have great tread life
M&H= expensive, don't hook as well as the M/T
BFG= crap

I don't think so......I never could hook with M/T......Nittos were fine....BFG is by far the better of the 3......Hard to say the best without someone being favorable towards a certain brand...

This seems to be the same as I've been hearing. Some say BFG, some say their M/T's are great, others say theirs are poop.
I wonder if it has something to do with the state you live in, and type of asphalt.

Is there some portable VHT I can hop out of my car and spray the tires or the road?
I'm leaning towards the radials, stickier, a bit of tread, and stiffer sidewall, I'm auto.
Probably 325/50/15

I have the M/T sportsman S/R's and from a roll they dead hook and they are not a drag radial but hook good. They Like any other street tire in rain too They hook better then the nittos i had from a roll without even doing a burnout. I haven't tested these with a burnout and a launch yet.

413whp best E/T on ET street radials was 116@118mph. This is on cold tire 26x10's 1st gear roll! With the nittos i had they wouldnt do this.

Well i'm just going off of what i see around here in SoCal. For a full slick the M&H & Hoosiers usually work great out here. Maybe it is a different type of street surface like someone said. ??

My best 60ft on nitto's was 1.9 and i had to launch easy and slip the clutch to get that! My best 60ft on M/T et streets radials is 1.6 dumping it hard so you tell me. Whoever said nittos hook better then M/T is on crack!

I ran both m/t and nitto's on street and M/T still better. Hell even my Non drag radial M/T hook better then nitto's did on street even with them cold. did you see the vid? Nitto's 555r's i would have spun more then that. My car has full stock shocks and struts with SFC, LCA's and relocation brackets thats it .
