305's are a waste of the extra money! Get 295's! If you put them side by said they look the exact same! I can get 295/35r18s for 200$ each and they are a great tire!
305/35's = 26.4x12.04
295/35's = 26.1x11.70
So the 305's r only .34 wider! Now worth the extra $40-$80+ more per tire

I had both those tires. If you are looking at the Nitto 305 Drags then IMO they are better than the BFG's. Stiffer sidewall and just better overall construction.
Better traction. Only thing the Nitto will wear faster
All the above applies to the Drags only. If you get the regular 555's then the BFG would be my choice.

forget the numbers..... The nittos flat out look bigger and hook better. Unless you've had both, like I have, you can't talk. You'll be happy with your decision just run the rears around 23-25psi, it will hook better and the centers won't wear out as fast
