the only real way to tell if they're good for you is...

tell us how much power and torque you're making

tell us your suspension mods

tell us your gear ratio

I have 315's as well with drag suspension and at the track I was getting considerable tires spin. I ran about .5 slower with them than slicks, but they are better than a street tire. As far as power, I have a little more HP than you illusion but probably a lot more torque coupled with 4.10's, which may be why they work well for you and not me. You may also be at a track that gets better prep.

great tires. previously i had the regular 555's, and they were horrible. for a street radial that lasts as long as these do i dont think it gets much better.

They are a good tire for the street, but they feel like "glass". Once you run them at the track, you will understand what i mean by glassy. M/T are AMAZING traction, but don't last nearly as long as the nittos do!

15K and counting on my MT's,,,

but im a rarity..

Nittos are fine for 90% of us unless you really really want to make it a hard time on your differential...

sometimes i wish i'd saved money and gone nitto, but then i'd be like eveyrone else,, on nittos

and not big rolling on MT's..
*dont ask me why i just said that, it's late and im excited
