Those tires will work better than pure street tires and with some GREAT driving should still get you into the high high 10s but it won't be easy.
You need better rear tires.

The Nitto's will be ok on the street, but with over 500rwhp, they will not hold well on the track.

bfg dr's for the win there wear out fast but they r one of thes stickiest tires out there. high tens is possible but it all comes down to driver and also how good the track is at where u will be racing.

I wouldn't say, based on experience of my friends, that bfg's will be good for a manual car. Mickeys will be better for a manual car, if the car is not driven up the the track (or only driven when there is 0% chance of rain), Hoosiers are also good choice.

The BFG DR's are too expensive for the track. They wear out in no time and cost $300+ea.
I used to run MT ET Streets, but like the Hoosiers much better. More consistent and better on the top end of the track. Both are pretty reasonably priced and I didn't notice any difference in wear.

everyday driver mickeys they r a harder ruber. if u want some great 60ft go bfg's i have used all three. brands. nitto 555r's got alot of wheel hop. mickeys were good driving everyday.best 60 ft and track performance were the bfg,s very soft compound little 285's holdin my over 640whp 6spd to the ground the mickeys were two tens behind the bfg,s at the track in the 60ft and i speak from PERSONAL EXPERIENCE so take it as u will..
et streets are the best but they r pretty much a street leagal slick
and u cant put a price on great et's
