What are some good drag tires/sizes?
In my quest to get the most out of my setup (as we all want) I am going to be getting drag tires for this track season.
I have found I the Nitto NT555'* in 245/50/16'* as well as the more extreme Nitto NT01'*.
Will the 245/60/16 NT01 be worth $192.13 per tire vs the 245/50/16 NT555 at $157.43 per tire?
These are the only drag tires I am finding that are close to the desirable size. Any one have leads to others in a fairly reasonable price range?
What kind of 60' times should I be seeing -have gotten a 2.166 on Bridgstone Potenza RE-910'* and 2.200 on Mastercraft P794'* (around here they're known as the poor mans tire at $75 per tire locally).

The NT-01s are made more for circuit racing than passes down the quarter mile. I'd say stick with the NT555Rs. BTW, they're only $150 at discounttiresdirect.com and come with free shipping.
