I wanted a drag radial that I could run all the time (daily driver less winter) and just drop the pressure at the track and run. I drive 60 k's a day to work and back and they have done the job.

I think if I would have gone with the BFG's or the Mickey Thompsons I would have had to replace them way before I will have to replace the Nitto's. On that note if I wanted better 60ft times I should have gone with the other 2 brands.

I think I can get the rest of this year out of them and they are daily driven. I put them on the Car last August and they have about 8000 k's on them with at least 120 passes at the strip with a line lock burn out of approx 10 seconds each time. So they do hold up. If you have seen my burn out I do a lenghty one.

Average 60fts at 15 psi would be really low 1.90's to mid 1.8's. Best 60 is a 1.79.
I think that if you want sticky do not go with these. Use the two others. If you want lasting wear and respectable 60's I would recommend them.

They do need heat to stick but as you can see they do stand up to the heating.

The Nitto's fit small, I have 275/40/17's on the 17x8 stock rims and they look great.
Hope this helps.

So far so good with the tires and the drag strip.

As soon as it seems like it is turning into work it is no fun for me. (load car up with slicks, oh yea only one fits in the trunk, lower back seat, damn I can't put them on the leather, go back in house get blanket, what you using my nice blanket for?, oh yea, hmmm picnic at the track. Oh okay, lay down blanket, load other tire. etc.....

No pics or vids, was by myself at Cayuga on Saturday. Met a few guys from here which was cool.

Router is doing fine.

Any other deals to be had???
