Nitto 20" Drag Radials
Does anyone have these? I know a Nitto authorized dealer and says he can get them for me for cheap. How many miles would I get out of these?

I would like to try them myself. Heard a couple of guys at the meets say good things about them.

I wouldn't trust them in the rain.

depending on your driving habits... 12-15K max out of the Nittos is what I've seen (never used them myself) from what I've read, they are decent in the rain as long as ur responsible.

I don't see a problem. I'm looking at the 275/40-20 555r's now. My car hooks just fine in the rain w/ limited-slip as long as I'm responsible.
I will probably have some within the next two months.

I had less than favorable experiences with Nitto DR's.
They require a high speed, long burnout.
Hell I was chirping third with mine.
They're a hard compound and ok for the street IMO. But I'd step up to Mickeys on takeoffs for the track.
