Nittos are good for the street. Not the best choice for the track.
If you want a good tire for the track then get slicks.

Wheel hop is the leading cause to drive train breakage.
slicks dont hop like drag radials.

the BFG drag radials work much better on the track.

they don't really make a DR for 16 inch tires..... you do have after market rims so you might try looking to find some for those rims....
