BFG's hook better, but dont last as long. (and SUCK in the rain! scary ****! )

Nittos last longer, but dont hook near as well. Ive actually heard people compare Nitto DR's to a decent street tire.

yeah, I'm getting MT's for the track, but Im mounting them on some Pro Stars. MTs hook like a mother, but wont last long at all on the street. If you're looking for a street/strip tire, Id go with the BFG's.

I have MT's and I can spin them all the way through first too... but I don't lol... Drag radials are NOT slicks, and you can't just dump the clutch and go. Radial tires do not like shock.

But yeah, Nittos do suck

The only problem is, I have an auto and thats with a light launch slightly above idle. If I actualy tried to launch remotely hard I dont even know what would happen. Hell even from a 40mph roll with a little heat in them I can blow them off.

As far as MT or BFG go a friend of mine has used both of those on his 03 Cobra and can launch pretty hard and they hook great. (PS. The car runs 11.0 with full weight!!)
