my .02 if you want a DR dont get the nittos they suck. they will last longer but perform very poorly compared to the bfgs or mickey thompsons. and the bfgs are very cheap i got mine for about 160 ea.
it is very difficult to burn out with them i am n/a but ive got some decent power and i have to launch at 5000 rpm+ to get them to burn out, otherwise anything lower will just squeal and hook. excellent tires for racing

oh they fit, they dont recommend it though so use at your discretion. ive had them on for about 4 months and 5000miles now without a hitch.

compared to other drag radials they plain suck, but they last longer. the nittos will outperform regular street tires though. keep in mind also that the nittos are notorious for creasing on the sidewalls which basically means you need a new tire.
oh and btw they are more expensive

are your tires 8" wide? i would not recommend exceeding 265 bc even that is pushing it. a lot of the guys running 275 on stock are the track models which have a 8.5" rear, just be careful whatever you do bc if you take a turn hard with too big of a tire the tire could jump off the rim, also if you squeeze too large of a tire on a small rim you will get a smaller contact patch bc the edges will curl up rather than stay flat.
