Default DR's or Normal

well got some new rims, black 17x9/10.5 bullits. Need to get some rear tires, going with 315/35/17. Plan on taking off some the the nittos off my cobra r's and putting those on the front. what do you guys think should i spend an extra 100 or so and get dr's or save a little and just get Sumitomo HTR Z.

I think i might get some DR's especially since i will have ton of more power.

I f do go this route witch DR's Nittos (to match the other nittos) or BFG drag radial 2?

I'de go with the Nitto's that way your matching. Also you will get a little more life spane on them rather than the BFG's, especially if you drive on them every day. I drive on my BFG's everyday to work and out on the weekend and they are about done like 30% or less left.

Depends how your driving style is... if you don't race a lot just get the cheap tires. If you tend to race quite a bit pick us some DR's.. just know they don't last as long as regular tires will.

If you don't race much just get some street tires. If you race quite a bit I would look into DR's.

If you get DR's ive heard the nittos last longer but yet they don't hook like the BFG 2 series. Other way around, the BFGs hook damn good (had a set) but yet they burn up pretty quick if you do daily driving on them.

I 2nd that. the Nitto's do last longer but wont hook like a BFG will. My boy is on Nitto's and he heats them up good, i barely heat mine and launch higher and almost dead hook while he spins his butt off if he launches at the same rpm. Same mods also! Life span....nitto's live longer.
