I've got a set of narrow 245-45-17 nittos on my 88. They hook amazingly well on the street, in pretty much any gear. My best 60' is 1.79 and they didn't spin a bit. I'm sure they had a better 60' in them, but my 4cyl didn't have the power to make it happen. The tread wear is great so far and the rain traction is very good, but be careful with standing water.
The nitto is the ideal tire for something you still want to drive on the street. The other drag radials do hook better, but give a much shorter life and will be a lot more scary in the rain or damp conditions.
Again, traction is good, my 2.3 got a 1.79 60' on a 245 tire with an otherwise stock suspension and didn't spin a bit.
The nitto doesn't work as well on manual transmission cars as automatics, but they'll still be a huge improvement on any other non-drag radial street tire.
