The nitto DR's suck as DR's. No real DR should last 15,000 anyway. If you want a good street tire, with crappy rain traction, and like the look of a DR, then the Nitto DR's are a good choice. If you are concerned about tires not lasting 15k, then you should be looking at something completelky different.

Well the question is, do you drag race enough where you want the low tire life or not?
