I have had better luck with the BFG drag radials. For stock wheels the only size you can get to fit would be 225/45/17
I have had the nitto drag radials on a couple cars and never had any luck with them.
As for the NT01's they are a stiff side wall and won't be the best for drag racing.
You want the side wall to give and absorb some of the shock on the launch.

the bfg in the 225 is fine. many people have run them for street/strip use.
These tires you are looking at are road racing tires. the problem is street/autocross/road racing tires are the stiff side walls. yes they have a low tread wear due to having a very sticky tire, but the stiff side wall doesn't allow to give like a true drag radial.
You have to decide what you want to do and what is more important; street or drag. either way you are going to sacrifice having the best of both worlds

I use Nitto 555R's all day every day street and strip. They grip very well and seem to last in the 10-14k mile range.

You'll get 10k miles out of the BFG's all day long on the street/strip.
I pull consistant mid 1.5's on mine all day long and again have pulled a personal best of 1.52 on a car that weighs 3330 with me in it.
The Nitto's have to hard of a sidewall still IMO and you will get wheel hop.

Go with the BFGs, thats what I was running before I went to the MT Slicks. They will do low 1.6 and consistent 1.5 60s all day and hold up also.
The Nittos SUCK! Ask Trent at Buschur and he'll go with the BFGs also. Ask VWJeff about his nittos and the track rental! lol Rear diff go boom!
As for the other tires you are talking about, they are all hard sidewall road racing slicks, not drag. They will lead to you buying T-cases and rear diffs from wheel hop! Your better with a set of snow tires than the re01r, Star Specs, or the NT-01.

All of Indy's tunes have been with street and track logging and using ECUFLASH.

The sidewalls on the BFG DR's are more like a 245 tire. They're much wider than a standard 225 street tire.
