Anybody have any experience with the Nitto drag radials? They have 305/45-18s that are 28.78" in diameter. I could run these on my stock 18" wheels.

The MT's do look good, but I don't see a match for my17"s.

I used Nitto DR's on my last Mustang, and they hooked up very well. Not going to be as nice as a wrinkle wall ET Street, but much better than a normal street tire. I was running 1.7x 60' times with them.

For racing Nittos SUCK!! They are good for street cars occasionally going to the track. M/T and BFG offer way more traction,they just dont last as long driving on the street
