I ran them on my 69 Charger for quite a while. Great dual purpose tire that prioritizes street performance over strip.
If you're wanting to go as quick as possible on a drag radial, it's not your best choice. But if you want to run a lot of highway miles, in some respects, it's you're only choice. They have speed (V or Z) and treadwear (100) ratings whereas other drag radials do not.
I drove an entire Hot Rod Power Tour on a set, much of it in the rain, and was very pleased with the performance. Took the car to the strip on several occasions and they hook WAY better than BFG T/As. (T/A's suck in the rain too).

I can fix it... my old man is a television repairman. He's got the ultimate set of tools... I can fix it.
Currently Mopar-less

I love mine, my BFG T/A's were toast at about 8K, so if these last the same with way better traction I'll be happy, I'm running a 360 with about 400hp and a dynamic 9.5" TC, 4,400rpm flash, Demon ran a 12.22 first and only time out with a 1.66 60' on slicks, haven't run the Nittos at the track but on the street leaning on the converter i get very minimal spin maybe 2 or 3 revolutions.
