Go through a rain storm with both tires and the winner will be obvious. The Firestones.

I had 245 Firehawk SZ50EP's on my old formula. Awesome tire, dry or wet. I pulled a consistant 1.9 60 ft on those tires and the best I can get on these crappy F1's is about 2.1. They are also the best Z rated rain tire I've ever seen.

Nitto's are great for racing, but the Firehawks are the best all around tire I have ever used. Wet traction is amazing with them as stated above. And road noise is very minimal as well.
