Here is the deal:

I have a 99 Trans Am M6, mostly stock, just an air lid and soon to have a cutout..

I want the drag radial that will hook the best, i'm not going to run this drag radial everyday, just when going to the track or playing around on the street..

So the question is: Nitto or BFG? (will be 16 inch)

I've read that the Nittos last longer but the BFG's hook better at the track, since i won't be running these tires everyday I am leaning towards the BFG's.

What does everyone else think? Does anyone have 60ft/ET comparasions between the 2? The track i race at doesn't have the best track prep, sometimes it is pretty good, sometimes it isn't.. so which one will hook better on a not well prepared track?

Thanks, Chris

I've run both brands on my car and the BFG's are the way to go..In your case that is..IMOP the BFG's are more consistant and will hook with just about anywhere..

If they're for track use only, then don't waste your money on Nittos. BFGs hook way better.

If you have stock gears ,I would go with the Nittos. The BFG's are a little taller and with the propper burnout , The nittos hook fine.

i cut a 1.58 on 16inch nittos stock internally so i know good well they hook <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Larry01Z28 went 11.7 bolt on with them in his 01 Z28 M6. I believe he cut a 1.7x 60 off of them.

I dont know why everyone thinks BFG works so much better. I havent seen anything to sway me towards them. On a prepped track nittos and BFG's are gonna do the same thing. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

with nittos or BFG's you just have to figure out your luanch method to make either work..

im 100% nittos....

but now ive gone to et streets since im making a tad more power <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

OK, for those NON auto guys, I have seen better results with the BFGs. My best on Nittos was a 1.86 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
