that is correct. BFG drag radial will last longer but hook the least out off the drag radials. i'v had BFG, m/t, hoosier. the hoosier drag radials hook the best but don't last as long as the others. I think with a stick you would want a hoosier QTP. they hook better than a drag radial and have a lot of rubber on them to last a good while. I cound not even get to hoosier drag radial to hook every time using a 5500 stall. you wont be buying tires every year if ya go with the QTP. try Mccormic racing tires out of Detroit. they stock a lot and will give you the best price.
