Default Opinions on BFG d/r's!

I have some nitto d/r's that are showign thread and ive had them for a year and a few months.

Was wondering what you think BFG > Nitto or Nitto > BFG

nittos right now is expensive. They went up like 35-40 $ a tire!

discount charging me 426 installed. ANd i can get BFG for 375 installed.

btw they are for 315/17/35

I own em they hook great but the down side is they are
extremely gummy.If you do any burnouts you will have to
clean all the rubber off the rear quarter panels and the wheelwells
will also be loaded with rubber and consequently they will wear out fast.
I've never owned nittos but I've heard bfg hooks better and nittos
last longer.

as you can see from the pic i have posted here don't waste your money on BFG drag radials. they absolutely suck BIG time. i laid down this 125 foot burnout in my driveway with them. i have 15x10 weld wheels and run size 275/50/15's. i have tried every air pressure imaginable with these tires and they do not hook. i have tried BIG burnouts, little burnouts and no burnouts and they still don't hook. i even tried them at the dragstrip one time and despite the VHT laid down on the track they still spun. i run nitto drag radials on my lightning and they are way better than BFG's. the nittos hook way better and last way longer. supposedly the new M/T drag radial that came out is supposed to be better than all of them but i haven't tried it yet. i run drag radials on the street and use full blown slicks at the dragstrip with all of my ridez

M/T > BFGs > Nittos When it comes to sticky
Nittos > BFGs > M/Ts When it comes to life span

Trust me I have had them all.

My old car did 1.68 60fts on 18" BFGS on a poor prepped track. My mods were LCAs, Lid, Converter, Pulley

Learn to drive less than 500 rwhp and you spin them off? The BFG is the world record holder for fastest 1/4 DOT pass 9.xxx

I run the BFg good for 1.4xx n/a and 1.36 on N2O passeswith my setup. Nittos suck, Mickey is good for track only use.
