tire question

any one using TOYO RA-1 drag radials, my tire guy says these are the way too go, much stickier and longer life than BF good rich and Nittos. Anyone using these tires and any feed back is helpfull

Nitto 555's

I have the Nitto's 555 on 18" aftermarket matching rims. They made a BIG difference. They grab and go real well on the street and will be testing them out this Wednesday at Moroso.

Never heard of them and know no one using them. If ya want 1.5x or better try the BFG 315's, not much better in a DR, some say the M/T, but...
Here is the bad boy,
