from reading the mods in ur sig, bfg will be plenty for ur power range... but if u are continuing modding (like most do) mickeys will do u good

I think the m/t's would be a little overkill on your car, you'd probably dead hook with the bfg's and get lots more miles out of them.

You'll only see an improvement in 1/4 mile time if you're having traction issues with your current tires.

i have bfg's and they hook great everytime. i only ran a 13.1, so i dont have that much power. i think they'd be good for you. they also last longer than the mickeys.

the firestone indy 500 i have hooked up pretty fairly good when they were new but once they got worn down a little i couldnt hook up to save my life. i think im leaning toward the BFG's

BFG's would probably work but if its ever gonna be a close money race.....the Mickey's will NEVER fail. I used the MT's as my daily drivers. 10k miles,20 something drag strip passes, countless street passes......never lost a race due to traction. They knocked .4 off what my Kumho Ecsta's would run.

I got .45 from MT Drag Radials vs BFG KDW. It would be nice to see differences from someone who's used both.

Yeah that sounds impossible to me...from what I've heard they will wear themselves out just driving on them in no more than 10k, but the guy above also has track use on them...which normally cuts them down to around 5k for most people.

May sound impossible but its a fact and I have proof. Another board member is now running them and was with me the day I bought them. I didnt do little wimpy burnouts either.

I think the m/t are good for auto's not m-6's. I actually like the bfgs they hook pretty well. You just need to heat them up really good (5-10 sec burnout).
