I'm gonna test them out

I just ordered a set of Nitto NT05 tires for the back. I have heard some good things about them so I decided to go ahead and replace my bald drag radials (damn spool) with them.

Are they a drag radial or just a regular street tire?

They are a street tire but supposed to be as sticky as the drag radials.

I heard they weren't very good for drag, more for auto x. The sidewall is a lot stiffer than the DR's.

Yes they will last longer. That is the whole point. I don't go to the track very much any way since the local one sucks. I was looking for a good tire that last longer then drag radials.
