Tires

The BFG DR will hook better but won't last as long. The Nitto will last longer. I use that for my daily driver. If you want a drag radial, consider the Nitto 555 DR, not the 555 EP. They you'll compare DR to DR.

Depends on how much track time you plan to do, and how bad you want to hook. If you are just a casual track guy, meaning maybe once a month and only for the fun of it, I'd go with the Nitto 555 street tires. If you hit the track often, or you really want to work on your ETs, then get the drag radials. Keep in mind, most DRs will not last as long as street tires but you're still looking at 9-12 months of use roughly. More if you are easy on them. If you can afford new DRs every 1-1.5 years, go with DRs. They are fun. A buddy of mine uses them on his daily driver. If you're on a tight budget and can't do new tires that often, stay away from DRs.

In short, a lot of it depends on what you want and what you can afford.

Once in six months? I'd say go with the Nitto 555 Extreme Performance (street tires). Drag radials are stickier but only on dry ground. The 555 EPs are already a little slick on wet roads. DRs are worse. The 555 EPs will still hook on a good track. I can't say much about longevity. It depends on your driving habits. If you get tires at wholesale prices, then who cares? Run them and have fun with them.

PS. Hook me up with some tires too. Hehheeee
