KD's are road racing tires, not DR's.

You'd be suprized who is in the winners circle at your local Auto-X event hahaha

I'd go with Nitto Drags myself for a drag tire. It's sidewall is goin to be a little more forgiving/soft and the price. The KD is like a diamond...hard on the wallet but they're pretty cool to look at.
I have read that they are sticky as hell though also...

For what it's worth...If you run a 17X9.5" rim, get the Nitto Drags in size 315/35/17. They fit NICE. They arne't as big as a typical 315 tire!! If you run the 17X9, you could probably still get away with it!!

16X8 rims will need a 245/50/16 tire. later man

well between the two listed I would run the Nitto's. My last few races i had Both on my car. Nitto's on the back and KDs on the front. they corner like glur!.

I prefer BFG DRs for best traction out of a street tire but they do not last as long as nitto's. For me the DRs seem to hook better
