Default BFG TA KDs vs. Nitto DRs

For anyone who has not tried TA KDs, they vastly outperform GSCs in forward traction. Has anyone run both Nittos and TA KDs?

No contest, the Nitto is a TRUE DRAG tire, the other (TA,KD is a street tire, if you have ever been on a drag strip, you would know instantaly... the ONLY real DRAG radials are BFG & Nitto..

All the others are just autoX or street tires and can't compare for DRAG RACING... been there done that...

The BFG DR's hook very well, but I don't know about the KD's.
