What drag radial should I buy?
I'm buying drag radials for my car this week and I need your guys input. I've pretty much narrowed it down to three choices. They're going on 19 inch wheels. Current power level right now is 650 whp.
Here's my choices
Et street SS
Nto5r
R888R
And a picture of my car for the hell of it

The NT05R does not hook as well at the strip but has better street manners.
It all depends on how you plan to use the car.

The NT05R is a great street/strip tire. They will hook great at the track and pretty good on the street. The MT SS from what I hear is pretty amazing but I haven't run any on a personal vehicle yet.

Running NT05Rs at the moment. Making 690whp. So far I like how it performs on the street. I've driven in the rain more than I'd like since I live in Florida and it's been alright. I'm not saying to trust these at 70mph in the rain as they are drag radials, but I slow to 45 or less and I've been fortunate. They hook pretty well, too.

Must be an MT thing. I've got the NT05R at about 600 whp and haven't had instability issues and the car has been 160-165 numerous times at 1/2 mile events.
I've been pretty happy with them though and it looks like they're going to make it 8-10k miles which is way better than I expected.

I only have experience with the NT05Rs I’m at 600 to the tire and the things practically dead hook on the street
I had them inflated to 32psi and the back end of the car still felt completely stable, I was a little more cautious but they still felt ok having some fun with off and on ramps. I did notice running the tires at 32 psi I did start to see the center of the tire wearing faster than the rest of the tread, dropped the tire pressure to 26 psi and blew the engine so can’t tall you how how the change pressure affected the handling 😣
I did get caught in the rain a time or 2 with them and I just drove like a normal human being had no issues at all.
I’d recommend them to anyone

Been debating between the et streets and r888r's. I've got an ecs/cammed GS as well. Looking forward to hearing your feedback on those et streets
