The nittos have a decent compound and they last A LONG time. My buddies lincoln runs those on the street for over 2 yrs and over 30 decent burnouts and they still have enough bite. They do spin alot though, but that's most likely because they are worn out. ET street radials hook so well because they have a very soft compound. the local speed shop says they'll last a season, which is prolly 3000 miles of driving and 4-6 dragstrip visits. for foxes, we had 2 bought and mounted for $320. They hook like crazy, and MT tells you not to do a long burnout. They say they don't need to be heated too much, just enough to clean them. Also, they recommend no dry hops and other stupid stuff
the story is his not mine, i cant see my car from the inside
I just got some from discounttire locally for 175 a tire for 255/50/16 was 390 out the door with 2 , mounted and balanced.
I dont know if you actually ran the BFG's also but I did and it was the complete other way around for me. The ET radials were junk after about 2500 miles with no track time. My BFG's have 3000 miles on them, with atleast 150 rwhp more, two trips to the track and HARD street driving many times and are still at 1/2 tread or so. Did I mention they hook as good as the ET radials I had?
