I want something I can daily drive at highway speeds if it rains. I had 275/50/15's M/T's on my notch and it was hardly better than a pair of slicks at sub 30mph let alone at 70 going to work.

I can't speak for the toyo's so I won't... I have had the nitto's they last me around 9-10k miles and from what I have heard from my friends you can expect around 4-5 for the BFG's...
Nitto's do AWESOME in the rain!

I am a big supporter of the Toyo drag radials. For less than 450hp cars, they hook very well on the street. I have no idea how they hook on the track. These tires are awesome in the rain. They have really deep grooves in them, and do a good job of pushing the water out from underneath the tire.
In my opinion, Toyo's are the absolute best daily driver drag radial on the market. I will not own anything else unless something better comes out.
The only complaints I have heard about them are from guys making pretty big HP numbers. They complain that they don't hook as good as MT DR's (which they don't), but they weren't designed to compete with MT. And when was the last time you heard someone bragging about how well MT's did in the rain?

I'm getting 315/35 Toyos. I've heard they are in between Nittos and M/T as far as traction is concerned and mileage is about in between those two as well. Probably 5-7k verses 3-5k for the M/T and 7-9k for the Nittos.
