If you do much time on the street, get nitto555R's . Mts hook awesome at the track but put me in a ditch at 35 MPH in my notch back after a sprinkle of rain. I was driving overly cautious because I'd heard of the potential for Mts to do that if the road is wet at all. If track only yes; if on the road get nitto drag radials which are safe in the rain at safe speed.

Dont get me wrong, Nitto Dr's also hook great at the track but not quite like the MTs. Steeda runs nitto drag radials at the track. Check out some of their YouTube vids. On MTs, I cut 1.55 60 foot times in my notch. On nittos, I cut low 1.6s just to give you a comparison at the track.

The Nitto NT05 DR hooks much better than the 555r and the Mickey Thompson DR hooks better than either of the Nitto DR's.

But don't get caught in the rain with the 05dr's just like the MT's.
