What kind of racing??? The Nitto you mention is a DR. BFG is better and MT is even better, but they're softer so they wear out quicker. Hoosier also makes a DR now IIRC.

Now if you want something that you can actually safely drive in the rain, BFG KD, Kumho MX, GY GSD3, to name a few.

Go onto tirerack.com and read the reviews and tests on the tires for info.

I'd go with the Nitto DR myself. It will work very well on a non-prepped surface and it won't wear out in 3-5k.

Does anyone know what the widest tire I can put on a 17x10 wheel without it sticking out or rubbing my ground effects is it 275/40?
