those are good tires, yes...but they will cost a pretty penny when you are replacing them every 3-5K miles
I'd go with Nitto 555 Drag Radials--last around 15K miles and will hook better than street tires

nittos blow for the track....MT's are a bit too sticky for the street as they pick up EVERYTHING....BFG is the best compromise, they are a good compromise between sticky and safe, ie they will spin before somethign breaks....if your running with high HP with say, MT's you betterbeef your rear end

If you're car is a daily driver, don't get BF d/r's... they suck in the rain, and they last 5-6k miles on avg.... If your car is a weekend driver - get mickeys in the rear... if it's a DD get Nitto D/R... they're not the best on the trackthey hook, but you have to really heat them up - street grip is good, and they're good in the rain... and there are people that easily get 1.7-1.9 60"s... and they'll last you 12-15k miles...
