Default nitto's or bfg's?

ordered some new wheels 17x9 all around, but trying to decide what tires to go with.
i've been running BFG KDWS and they've worked pretty good, but im also looking at some Nitto 555's.

i was wondering if there was anybody who has owned both and let me know how long the nitto's last compared to the BFG's

this is my daily driver so i gotta make the tires last, also anyone know the price range?

depends on what bfg your going with. bfg kdws will give you alot of miles depending on your driving habits (20-35k miles) bfg drag radials will give you around 5-10k miles. nitto drag radials will give you 6-12k miles. thats what ive gathered from other posts and personal experience with both nitto and bfg drag radials. had a pair of kdws and them ******* tracked like hell,

i want to go with either the BFG KDWS, or Nitto 555 street tires
neither are drag radials, but i will more than likely go with the BFG's

If you are going to drive the car everyday then i would go with the Nitto's. BFG's will hook harder at the track than the nitto's but the Nittoe will last a lot longer.
