Nitto's are kinda sticky, But if you want really sticky get the BFG's. Don't expect the BFG's to last more then 6 months. The Nitto's will last longer.

I'm going with Goodyear tires that are almost the same as the one's that come on the vette, but a little better.

I had some Eagle F1's, I hated them, I could spin those for days.
