Only Nitto tire I'd recommend would be the 555R drag radial. I love mine and find it to be a good combination of a street a strip tire. They wont hook as well as the BFG or MT DRs but they will last a lot longer and do a lot better in the rain. They will also provide much better street/strip traction than the tires you have now or any normal street tire for that matter.

I run Toyo T1R's daily and I have a set of Nitto 555R's for the track. I love my toyo's, the car literally rides and handlesbetter than on stockers.

The only size i know the price of is for the 245/45/17's because they came on the car when i bought it and they are $159 a piece. I am actually selling them because there are NO 1/4 mile tracks in Maine so i do not need tires this aggressive.
