I gotta go with M/T drag radials. Ive had 3 sets. Had a set of 235 15's on my 67 Nova street car would pull the left front wheel and run 7.05 @99. Worked good on the street too. Was ok in the rain but if you get stupid in the rain you will be swapping ends. As for mileage mine never had a chance. I might have gotten 1000mi but I ran mine full time and hard.
the hoosiers work good, but they don't last. M/T is the way to go. I get to the track about 5 times a year and mine have lasted 2 seasons with a TON of street driving on them.
Depends on what youa re wanting to do with them? I run Nitto 555r now on the back, same size as you've got. They work good for drag strip, but I still spun off the line just a little bit. The thing is they work better on the street and in any rain that may come your way. The M/T that I had was good too, but not this good, on the streets. It was softer than the Nittos are but wore out twice as fast. With my car being daily drive, and say maybe once a month/bi monthly, the M/T lasted about 10k miles maybe a little bit more. The Nittos have lasted 15k give or take 1500 miles and have plenty of tread left.
