I have one goal and that is to crack into the 12's. I need a decent 60 ft. time. Those BFG's can go flat after the traps and that will be just enough milage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks.

I like my Nittos, but you really have to heat them up , especially on the street. From what I've seen and heard the BFGs stick a lot better.
