I'd have to say not.
Nitto pays $1000 bounty to win in my NMCA True Street class, so I was desperate to make them work. I gave up and went back to my Hoosiers, which WILL hook even when worn down to the cords.
I think the True Street guys that run these ease into the throttle and nail it when they quit smoking. I can't do that; in order to hit the number I have to dead hook right from the start.
I was reviewing the data after the Indy event and thought it was telling. The "fast" guys are running Mickeys or Hoosiers and you don't see the Nitto usage come in until high 11's/low 12's.
