most people agree the mt drag radials are the stickiest but wear quickly. the nittos are a nice step better than normal street tires and last a long time but are not as sticky as the mt's.
if you want max grip see if you can get the mt's in a size that will work for you but dont expect them to last more than a summer.

I got a good deal on a set of 275/40/17 MT DRs on stock Alum rims...
They work pretty good.. Track prep at the local track aint too great.
Im sellin them to my buddy that has a Trans Am and im gettin Hoosier Slicks...

FWIW, Friend of mine has a twin turbo small block mustang that made 1615RWHP / 1245RWTQ last Friday. On Saturday they took the car out to make some test hits and the car went a 1.24 60ft on the MT Drag Radials. He will be racing this weekend at Bradenton Motorsports Park in the Radial Tire Class. This mustang is running stock style suspension, still has working head lights and tail lights, and has mufflers which are all requirements to run that class. Here is a link to all requirement for that class http://www.bradentonmotorsports.com/...ge%20-%202.htm
He also won the World Ford Challenge Drag Radial Class in 2007 at Indianapolis. He was running the MT Drag Radial for that race.
The MT Drag Radials have been proven to work very well but they don't last long. With that being said, I don't know how well they will work on a 2wd pickup due to being light on the rear end.
