Default New tires!!!!!!!!!

All right so I got enough money for some tires now. So I want a really sticky tire with decent tread life. Any suggestions?

nittos are crap.
mickey thompson drag radials or the et streets.
I have the radials and they are good, but my first set only lasted a month and a half driving on the street everyday and a couple burnouts.

I dont think treadlife and sticky tires go with each other, you have to comprimise one to get the other,

Ok I'll call bullshyt here! I have a set of Nittos. On the car for about 10K. Still have some tread left, work well on the street and fair for the track. It is a good all around tire!!! They will by far out last and other drag radial out there. Yes, not as sticky, but they will last!!!
