i have Potenza RE730s on my car. They stick very well. I can power brake to 8psi then let off the brake and floor it and they spin maybe 2 rounds then grab hard. 10psi launches dont make them happy tho. Wet traction is very good and they were only $103 per tire for 16

RE730 Kumo Ectsa 712s Proxy TS-1s the new Falken Azenis are REALLY good.. WRX guys in Aust use em and swear by em..

Id be hesitant to use drag radials on the street because they aernt really known for their lateral and conering grip nor their wet weather grip.. id steer moer towards DOT approved competition R compound Aitoross Tires as they will give you more grip in all situations.

With either Nittos or BFG DRs both have a softer sidewall than a regular radial. So cornering you will get a taco effect. So I wouldnt get them if u wanna do 100mph off an exit ramp. Now get a pair for the track I would say Bfgs. Some guys have cut low 1.6s on them and there a DOT tire. But they suck major arse in the rain. Save your money get a street tire for the street and a spare set of rims when u go to play!
