Drag radials
I've used both the M/Ts and the Nittos. The M/Ts hooked up better for me and are a softer compound than the Nittos. Both hook up better than a standard street radial and IMHO the Nittos are a better all around street tire that are less twitchy on wet pavement.
That said, my Duster is a fair weather car and I would probably go with M/Ts if I was buying a pair of tires today.
