Default Best tire (out of these two)

Hey i have a VERY mildly modded car but my tires now are crap so i need new ones anyways. i have full exhaust and a lid. i was looking into the nitto 555r and the bfg t/a drag radial 2. any experiences with the two? which hook better and last the longest?

also i know this is probably a dumb question but im all paranoid about blowin my rear end with too sticky of a tire. will i be ok? i think i will be cuz i got 2.73s and i hear with those, the rear in pretty sturdy. but im just double checkin...o and a 3200-3500 stall might be on its way so im also worried about the hard launch on the rear end.

thanks a lot guys

555r will last longer imo, but the bfgs will hook better, with those gears you probably have an a4, and so do i, and ive gone to the track on nittos cam and converter and have still yet to blow out the rearend, so launch away

Nitto's in my experience and friends of mine seem to blow the 10-bolts faster then slicks. You will hook with nitto dr. But you need to worry about the hooking and slipping of the tire for the rear end. I have never ran the bfg so I can not give you any insight on those.
