Default Sticky tires for the track

So I am going to be getting a stickier tire for the track. My Nitto DRs dont' cut it. I was wondering if the M/T drag slicks would be too much and the ET streets would be a better choice?

I will have a 3800 stall, 4.10s and a nitrous. I will be running a 75 shot for now but will get it tuned for a 125 shot later this summer. I want something that I will be able to stick with.

unfortunately no, but i have multiple friends that sware by them. these are cars pushing 500+ at the wheels too. they hook exceptionally well from what i have witnessed in person. the only downside to them is the tire wear, but that shouldn't be a problem if you don't drive around on them frequently.

i wish i could say i own a set, but car money has sadly been super tight the past couple years.

Anybody have experience with the M/T drags?

NVM Im a tard I just saw you posted it will be street use as well...Do you have the 555 DR's now? The NT05 DR's offer an increase over the 555 DR, though not an extreme amount.
