Default Need Tires Question

I need 2 new rear tires. The tires wont see the track to much. I just need 2 new rear 315's for my rims. I'm stuck between these 2 tires.

BFGoodrich's are cheaper then the Nitto's

BFGoodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radial 2 Blackwall
315/35R17

NITTO NT 555R DRAG RADIAL
315/35R-17 102V

well bfg's wear out faster and hood better...they are also considerably wider for the same given tire size...if you aren't going to see the track much why don't you get a street radial tire...btw what size rims do you have cause a 315 bfg is not fitting on anything less than a 10.5"

Nittos all the way between those two. The BFG drag radials wear out very fast, much quicker than the nittos even. I got 10k miles out of my first pair of nittos and they stick wondefully well. So much stickier than a standard radial, but you pay for it in treadlife. What are your mods or plans for mods?

good deal then...i'd vote for the nitto's out of those two tires...but i'd vote for a goodyear gs-d3...expensive but they hook near what a nitto does and last much longer...
