So nitto is crap? I hope you're wrong about that because I just got some Invo for the front and some NT05 for the rear. I've read nothing but good things until now.

I considered drag radials. In the end I settled on what seemed like one of if not the best street tires you can get. Hopefully even with the gears installed now the car will be easier to launch than it was before.

I realize I'm going to be made fun of for this statement. But I don't like the idea of having a set of dedicated tires for the drag strip. Yes yes I know that means I'm not "serious" about racing. I don't care. The idea that a car can be very fast at a drag strip but slow on the street doesn't sit well with me. Say what you want.
