Drag Radials
If you don't have them, you'll have to "feather" the car off the line.
With your mods on street tires, I'm going to guess, oh....14.7@ 98 mph

With nitto drag radials how long would they last on the rear if you just used them on the street?

If you didn't do any, I would guess about 10-15,000.
But be warned, don't get caught in the rain with D/R's. They will hydroplane in a second.

The best advice I can give is practice your driving, the driver mod is the best one for the money, untill you get so you can run a consistant time ather changes to the car will be guess work. As for drag radials, I have said it before drag radials are not like slicks in the rain esp. the Nitto it has a regular tread pattern, those that have hydroplaned would most likley done it regular tires as well. Yes I drive my dr's everday even in the rain, you just gotta use your head and they will be fine.

nitto DR's will get u about 10-15k and u can drive em on the street, bfg's will get u about 5k and I wouldn't drive em on the street, MT's will probably only see 1k. To me since my car is a daily driver cutting a 1.8 as opposed to a 1.6 aint so bad for all the extra use u get out of the nitto's.
