Looking for a daily summer tire that hooks. I own a 6 speed 2017 5.0 with a blower making 730 and want a high quality tire that hooks, looks good and safe to drive on freeway/city. I want something that will last through the summer and when gets low can be put on as a show tire but still safe for normal driving. Which is better based on this info and can give more info just ask! (305/45/17)

ET Street radials if you want something that hooks. You’ll get more miles out of the Nittos, but they’re not even close traction wise. My old ~475whp 240sx went 1.4x-1.50 60fts consistently on 16” 255s and left damn near as hard on the street as it did at the track.
