I have been running Nitto NT-01s on my Backdraft for a couple of years now and they are really nice. These are actually DOT road race tires and you need to have them heat cycled before they ship. Give them about a weeks rest after the heat cycling and you will have an amazing tire, front and back. Tread pattern is pretty aggressive looking and works well with the Backdraft, 315s on the back and they fit fine. They struggle in 1st, but everything else is solid and all the surprises are gone. I'm running a small block at 585 flywheel HP, FI and it hits really hard, used to be a death wish in the first three gears at any speed. All gone now.

Can't comment on how they might work in the rain, no experience yet. Very predictable weather where I am located.
