No they won't hook like M/T's but they are not supposed to. There are two type of drag radials. Dead hook and controlled spin. M/T's are dead hook and are meant to do just that. Hook with no spin which is great for autos (as there torque converters absorb stress better then a clutch).The Nittos are a controlled spin tire. They are meant to provide good acceleration with a minimum about of wheel spin. They are designed this way to provide less stress on your drivetrain and are meant more for cars with a manual trans as a dead hook tires puts a lot of stress on the clutch. People do run in the 10's and faster on Nittos.If your looking for more bite I say go for it as they are better then a regular radial tire. If you want stickier when it comes time to replace them then go for it. Suspension and practice also has a lot to do with how well a tire bites or doesn't bit.</blockquote>
