If you only go to the track a couple times a season then get the Nitto D/R's. I run Mickey Thompson ET Street radials. They hook like a champ but are useless in the rain and don't last as long as the two brands you mentioned.

Nittos FTW, the nittos are better than any non drag radial tire.

BFG drag radials hook a ton better than nitto's but won't last as long. I had the nitto nt555 on my car for about 20k and I still have them on the front. They don't hook all that well though.

my 315 nittos hook great. Way better then a street tire. Is this your Daily Driver??? If so get the nittos. I have to get a new set every year but, there not too expensive so I don't mind. Plus with Drag Radials and going to the track even a few times you gotta expect that. I drive with mine on my car all the time. I know that some people have gotton as good as 1.6 60ft's with nitto 555r's so they are a good enough sticky tire JMO.
