Whats the best tire of the two for mostly street use but some track use. I know the nittos would last alot longer but im worried about how they would hook. The will be 275 60 15 and will be on a 85 Camaro with about a 600hp BBC on spray. Full suspension mods(Rod Ended Control Arms, LCARB's, Torque Arm, Springs, Adjustable Struts) on a stock style suspension.

Thanks

The nitto drag radial makes a better road race tire than it does drag race. (for real...) It blows hairy donkey balls on the street. BFG at a minimum... mickey or hoosier drag preferred.

The only time nittos worked alright was when they were wore down to a full slick, had almost no air pressure and lots of heat in them.
 
Ya would like to go Mickey's but my best friend is the manager at Discount Tire and they dont carry them. Can anyone hook me up with a deal on the Mickey Thompson Drag Radials. Like Maybe $350 OTD just the tires dont need the mounted or anything. Or even hook up on the Hoosiers

Thanks

You're not going to smile with Nitto Drags and a 600hp BBC with spray. :)

Hoosier or M/T. I doubt tire wear and gas mileage are really an issue if you're building a car like that. A nitto isn't even considered safe with that much power on the street. :D

Edit: Oh...I have both and it's rare to see my nittos on now that I have a sticky tire. If ever...it's just to see what I can do on them..which is to say..not a lot.
