I need new tires for the back of my truck badly. I've been debating between 3 different tires.

1. the stock F1's
2. Nitto Extremes
3. Nitto DR's

I drive approx 500 miles per week and see the dragstrip maybe 2 times per month max. I'm looking for traction in both rain and dry but also don't want to keep buying tires every 8-10 months. I'm putting down a lot of power (a lot meaning i spin through first, second and third) so i want something that relatively hooks.

Here's a pic of my trk now


Thanks

 

I vote for the F1s if you want something with a decent wear rating

But if you are putting a lot of power to the ground, DRs may be the only way to go for dry traction. The downside of course is that you will not see as many miles out of them as the Nitto Extremes or stock F1s.

 

Nitto 555's. You drive a lot and what not.

Just mount the slicks when we go import hunting.

 

 

I would avoid the drag radials with that much daily driving, some may disagree but I say stick with the F1's or the standard 555 Nittos, then pick up a set of used slicks and rims for 3 bills and your good to go at the track.

 

Buy F1's for daily driving and the Nitto Extreme DR for the track.

I have some nitto's with rims for sale CHEAP

i neglected to mention

I have a set of ET Streets and Hoosier's too

 

If that's the case, just go with a pair of F1s or the non-DR NT555 Extremes. Unless you street race often and absolutely need that extra dry traction daily, I would not buy the Nitto DRs.
