you are making toomuch power to expect good traction with the nitto "so called" radials. Go with the M/Ts, you won't regret it. Mustangs are bad in the rain regardless, if you wanted to drive a performance car in the rain or non dry weather conditions then you should have looked into awd

i think he's looking more for something that will grab from a stoplight without having to smoke out the car behind him.

My Nitto 555r drag radials work great, but I'm not making any real power.

but if he drives on the street alot MTs or BFGs aint gonna last long
I got about 6000 miles on my BFG's and chances are this is not his daily driver, plus he lives in New England, so I would bet the car sits for 6 months out of the year. I never understand the milage argument. If you can afford a blower, you can afford $300 a year for decent tires.

Can you pull a 1.5 60 foot on your Nittos. I can on my M/T's and I did on my BFG's as well.
