Default Street DR

Just bouht some new rims, and I am going to need some new tires in the next few 100 miles... I want to go to DR route which i have 0 experiance with... I would like something that last a little bit longer than the MT's being that ive heard they last about 6k milkes... i need something that hooks and will last about 10k... i was think the BFGs but have no clue... opinions greatly welcomed thanks

I would go with the nitto DR. I just put some 315s on mine and I love them. They look awsome to.

If you want to get mileage out of them, go with Nittos. 10-15K miles is normal with them. The BFG's will hook better, but you'll probably only get 6-8K miles out of them.

nitto dr's are what you want... will last a lot longer, but the BFG will give you more traction but won't last as long

Hey, what PSI are you running on your Nittos on the street? I put mine to about 20, but I'm getting massive rubbing *325/50/15* and I just purchased a panhard rod, and LCA's so I'm hoping to push it out just a little so it doesn't rub. I run my current Nitto's at 20 PSI as well. Instructions will be with the panhard and ****, but I'm not sure how much to actually adjust them.

i run my 315 nittos at 30 psi on the street with no rubbing with DMS springs. I run them around 14-18 psi at the track and they hook
