Since you have a manual I'd suggest going with the Nitto's. You are better off spinning a bit then hooking and taking out the rear or drive shaft.

The Nitto's are a bit softer then a standard street tire, but not as soft as the other drag radials, so you get a bit more traction at the track, much better on the road, specially if you get caught in rain! and they have decent tire life.

I'd also suggest getting a rear cover and drive shaft loop! Get a good cover, the one that has the provision to load the rear bearings, ie: a T/A or MAC cover are brands I know of. These help prevent the differential from distorting and will help a bit to keep the rear intact. You should also realize that the drive shaft is becoming the weak link, so you want a loop! Cheap insurance should it snap. CBR and I have broken a fair share of them! I snapped one using the Nittos and launching fairly easy - pulling 2.0 60'

Since you’re getting 4:10s. Another good reason to not get a tire that will hook hard, you don't have allot of material on that ring gear.

Not trying to scare you away. People have gone years on 4:10s and sticky tires. I have two friends running in the 11s with stock rears and 4:10 and Hoosie QTPs and MT RDs. So you never know, so do what you can to make them last and protect yourself.
