Here's what I have gathered; Nitto=least traction but longest street life. BFG=better traction than nitto but lower street life. MT ET Radial=bar none best traction but short street life 6K or less.

if money isnt an object BFG radials are much wider and tons grippier than Nittos

that being said, Nittos will last longer, but wont hook up as well

Note that i have had both

couldn't have said it better myself.... those are straight up pretty much your best choices depending on driving habits (Traction/Width - Nitto's < BFG's < MT's)

BFG's are without a doubt better than nitto's as far as hooking but nitto's do last longer.

They're great, as long as you dont plan to drive in the rain, or expect to get more than 6-7k miles out of them. They definitely hook way better than nitto's or bfg's though.

As far as which tire is best, it depends on howyou plan to use it. Personally, I think for a street car, you can't beat nitto's. Decent traction, last a good while, and handle almost like regular radials on wet roads. If you don;t sped much time on the street, then I would do M/T's.

nitto's will last longer than bfg's. If i had to do it over again i would go with the m/t drag radial. Thats where its at
