I think it is total BS that nittos are no good for a 400 RWHP car. MD was running nittos and was running something in the 11.8xs on a 400 RWHP car. You have to heat em up at the track, but there is absolutly no comparason with the tread wear in the other tires.

However, since he is planning on using different rims anyway, I would suggest the MTs, since they seem to be the stickyest out there, and he shouldn't care about tire wear.

I did read your post thank you very much. Why even post if you have NO EXPERIANCE with the tires, that does not help anyone. Now if you had them on your car and used them for awhile then by all means post your thoughts. Some of us get alittle testy about the tech stuff being posted here, as alot of bad advice/misinformation is circulating as of late. For a prime example look at all the gear posts, 99% of the people who are giving advice cannot even do simple math.

i totally understand im sick of reading stupid posts.... but i was just letting him know i will inform him when i get them ... which is tomorrow... i didnt mean to be rude.. i think im a little frusturated with the posts on here too.

I definitely agree, JD...about the bad advice on gears and what not.

I hate to sound rude...or downright blunt, but this board is by far the most ignorant group of members I have ever met. This group as a whole, of course...there are a few brains. But for the most part, this board is a bunch of punk kids that know a whole lotta nothing.

This is going bring some flaming...so bring it.

No harm intended, just my observation.

Thanks for the input by the way, fellas.

The Nitto have excellent tread wear, I have always said that. But you don't need to look much further than NMRA Factory Stock to see why nobody uses the Nitto. Basicly there are two tires that are legal for the class, BFG and Nitto, and guess how many guys use the Nitto? Thats right zero. The highst hp car in the class make around 370 to the tire and he yanks the front tires on a BFG. I know that MD had a Nitto on his car but alone does not mean that it is the best tire, hell he might have gone a tenth or two faster on a M/T or a BFG.

Thats a good article but they are not talking about drag radials.

Obviously it is a stickyer tire. But for the street, 400 HP or 200 HP, there is no comparason. Like I said, if tread wear is no option run M/T, but if you want more than 2-3 thousand miles out of your tires you should run nitto.

The NMRA guys are going to run the absolute best equipment they can for performance, and no doubt the MT tires will hook better, but I think you would have a hard time telling the difference between the two on the street. I have only seen one vid of a mustang jerking the tires off the ground on the street, you just can't get good traction like a prepared surface at the track.
