I have them on my stock rims.. I would say the nitto is a better tire for daily driving because it has more grooves for water.. If u really want a DR that hooks up get MT but they suck if u get caught in the rain..

They don't hook very well compared to all the other drag radials available. I would rate them at the bottom of the list.

Get the Mickey Thompson ET II drag radials. They look as good as nittos for rain but hook way better.

I used nittos on my hx wheels and they didnt hook up bad 1.9s and 12.5 consitantly. MPH would vary from 119 to 121.

Thanks guys, Although the nittos are a good price, It doesnt seem that they will hook good enough for me. Im going to go with drag slicks, either MT or M&H.
