Drag Radials
Do you prefer the Nitto 555R Drag Radials or the Mickey Thompson E/T Streets. I am going back and forth between these two tires. The more people i talk to say that the M/Ts suck and dont hook up at all. I have Nittos right now and they are less then 50% life on them and they dont hook in first what-so-ever. So i dont know which will work better, if you know of any tires thatll work better then those two let me know also. Im trying to get it so i dont have to buy slicks, because i would like to drive it on the street. Thanks.

Go with the et streets. Do you have aftermarket upper and lower control arms?
The nitto tires work ok but not even close to what the et streets will give you.
I have not tried the mt dr yet, but i've heard good things about them.

RE: Drag Radials
Nittos are ok for your average car, but they compare to nothing like the mickey thompson dr's or the et streets. Both of those tires will hook like no tommorow, so I dont know who you talked to saying they dont hook, cause you could kiss your trans and rear good buy if you hook a little to hard with et drag radials and et streets. Now if your gonna use them to drive on the street, then you dont want them, you want nittos or bfgs are a risk in the rain, but track and nice weather only, go either et drag radiuals or et streets

Blew out old rear-end though and i am stuck with a stock rear-end... is this going to be a problem?? Also, i only have a 4-lug configuration, i talked to a guy at a tire shop and he said that 4-lug is not enough, that ill twist them right off, is this true??

500 hp and only 1.6s? should be alot better really
also nothing wrong with 4 lugs. there isnt any real advantage to having 5 lug[ except brakes/wheels] who you got that info from was probably a rube that didnt know much. look at some pro racers running 4 lug and not having issues. now cheap studs will fail, but your not making htat kind of power
