Nitto NT555R Drag Radials

drag radials.....they dont stick as good as a slick, and most prople dont run them on the street.....the worst of both worlds

Can you elaborate? I don't plan on running at the strip but a couple times a year (maybe). Street tires such as radial ta's have limited traction. I'm looking for a good alternative. I thought the MT ET radials were "the best of both worlds". Educate me.
