MTs are the best, Nittos are more of a street tire that can hook really good when heated up. Nittos can also get killer miles on them before they die.

mickey thompsans are MUCH better for the track. You may not even need to heat them up much. I had nittos and they did OK at the track but still not really aggressive enough. Plus they run smaller in sizing. 275/40/17 Nittos may be 9 inches wide, where MT's the same size will be 10.5 inches wide. I wouldnt buy either one to use as a daily driving tire. Thats just wasting money.

Thanks guys. Yeah im not going to use them for daily driving. Im gonna go as far into the 12s as I can all motor and then for ****s and giggles im finally gonna throw some DDs on there and take it to the track. Also im gonna have them incase I ever get called out on the street by someone just to make sure I run a little quicker.

Of those, the MT will be your best bet. I've run the BFG drags for over a year on mine and loved them. I've had nothing but bad luck with Nittos (any of them I've tried).
