Nittos are great as are BFG! A search will also give you plenty of good opinions, as would visiting the tire/wheel section on this site

I like my nittos

The Nittos are great. It seems that my 275's lasted longer and never hydroplaned like the 315's.

do they make 275's in for a 16" wheel?

I ran nittos for almost two years and loved them when I was bolt ons with stock stall. Now that I'm heads/cam with a 3600 yank they just don't cut it anymore. On the streets I could do 40-45mph mash it and get sideways on 275/50/15 nittos. I now run 255/50/16 m/t drag radials on stock wheels and love them. They hook really well when cold on the streets. So far I've only got two passes in with them, and my 60ft was 1.74 with 20lbs of air in them. I used to pull 1.64-1.67's on 275/50/15 et streets though, but I think if I air them down more they will go 1.66-1.68's. My vote is nittos with your mods, but if you ever want to spray or gets heads/cam then you might want to think about m/t drag radials. I've ran both in the rain, and the nittos are better but not a lot better. I can do 45-50mph in pouring rain on the m/t drag radials before they start to hydroplane.

I run the 315/35/17 dBFG, WORK GREAT. Will do a 1.67 60'. If I were you I would try the the M/T's though.

How long do each of these tires last in comparison? What is the cost difference?

I just got my 255/50r16 BFG's installed today, I love em. They aren't as sticky as my Nittos and the others but the last set I had went over a year and a half and 10,000 miles.

Its all about learning what the tire can handle @ the track, with my Cobra I finally had it dialed in with a 16psi hot pressure, it would turn 1.7's and I even did a low 1.7 one time. Those were Nitto's though and they wore out alot faster. I wanted a tire that I could drive on not only at the track.

haha... i meant as long as i dont beat on it. I dont street race ever (cant afford the insurance if i get a ticket) and i dont do burnouts either.
