if you plan on driving it in the street the nittos will be a better tire, the bfg's hook better(some say) but i cut a 1.7x 60 on 315 nittos 11.71 @ 115mph, daily drive on them too and theyre better than stock. i believe you have the 275/40/18 if your a stock vette

BFG's all the way. They work great for me as 255/50/16 and my car is a daily driver...tread is still good and I have had them since last summer (they are only on the car during summer obviously) I would recommend them to anybody.
