I have had the NT555 275/35/18 up front for a long time with no problems. For the rears, I have NT555R 305/35/18 and wanted another tire that lasts a little longer. If I go with the KDW II's, I will have to get 295/35/18. Does anyone know if these will last longer?

The NT-555R has UTG rating near 100 the BFG around 300. While they are not uniform between companies the BFG should last longer. It is a high performance street tire. The Nitto is a drag race tire that you can drive on the street.

Between the two, BFG's. The only Nitto I have had luck with is the new NT-05R. And they are not for DD use. They SUCK a big one on wet traction. I liked the Mickeys better than all the rest.
