Which 275/40/17 hooks better on the street?

I can get the BFG drag radial for $140 each, but the M/T are $210. I've heard M/T is better, but is it worth this much more money per tire? These will go on a set of rims for racing use only, so longevity isn't really a concern.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Chris

I think most of the time on here is that you cant find anything to beat any kind of MT tire.

I'm just trying to assess whether or not it's worth the extra money...

On the street I ran BFG DRs. They were fantastic. I rarely even burned out mostly cleaned them off ans squashed 99% of people from a dig.

The times I did do a burnout on the street, it eats tread life away and they hook at 100% throttle off the line just like my Hoosiers hook on the track. Unfortunatly I could never get them to hook at all on the track, only the street.

Something else to consider is i got about 3000 miles out of the BFG. M/T is a softer tire and will wear quicker.

Some people may have gotten more miles out of them, but, i actually used mine and raced on them heavily.

LMK if you got any more questions

MT's did not wear fast at all for me. May depend on the roads/where you live. B/c I got about 6k miles on them and a crap load of tread left.

Compare that 3000 miles on BFG to 8000 for 555r which were absolute junk for me.

As I said before, I used my tires. I didn't just drive on them.
