I have 275 Nitto DR's and for my 300whp they hook great in the dry and give me all the traction I need in the rain.

People who are suggesting MT probably don't have them on their DAILY DRIVER. It is ****ing stupid to put them on a DD cause yo will buying new tires every 4-5 months.

I'd say run Nittos. I have been using them for years and I dont have a single complaint. I run 1.5 60' at the track and most of the time am unable to break them loose on the street. I buy a new set every year.

exactly my point.

My MT's lasted 2.5 summers, and they've still got tread on them. (roughly 17K miles)

Now they're on spare rims.

Don't drive like a lunatic on the street roasting them away every chance you get and they'll be fine.

wow I've never heard of anyone getting near the kind of mileage out of them. Have you ever taken them to the track or ran them hard at all?

I've been to the track 4? times. And made about 30 passes or so.

Not every one of them included a huge smoke-show type 2nd gear burnout, but I did get em smokey, and a few passes were pretty hard burnouts.

I will be the first to say though, that I babied them on the street. In the 17k-ish miles I had them on the rear of my car, they were spun (on dry pavement ) probably 30 times.

Wet pavements a different story, they liked to kick out.

i DD'ed mine on my fox all last summer... and was at the track prty much one-two times a week... yes, launching hard, yes big burn outs... 15psi at the track, 30psi on the street... they got me thru summer just fine, and now are on the back of my 02, but only at the track... they will get me thru this summer, and prolly part of next

they last longer then ppl think

i have 325 nt555rs and had to stop daily driving them, i couldnt imagine trying to dd anything that wore out faster than those.

WTF do you do burn outs at every stop light? I had my last set of nittos 245s on my car for over a year with lots of trips to the strip. They are now on my wifes car and still running strong.

I'm probably going to get M/T's for the 17's next. Now I barely drive my car so I don't need to worry about it being my DD car. The nittos have done good for me but I don't know if they'll hold my car off the 2-step. I figure that'll be a good tire for my car NA now and I still have the slicks for the bottle. But with the OP's power level, I think the Nittos are plenty, and safer in the rain.
