Default Which DR's?

I know lot of people have different opinions on the quality of some of the dr's out there and I'd like to hear them.

I'm leaning toward the 555r's but I want to consider all my options before I drop the money.

Nitto's didnt hook for me very well, and that was with a super tight converter..... I would go with bfg's. They work good and last a while. I heard the MT radials dead hook but dont last a long time so it all depends on you..... I would go with something that hooks the best like the MT's but you know the consequences.

Just put on a set of MT radials 275 40 17s on my factory wheels . After the guys at the tire shop installed them and sent me on my way and they wanted me to test them out for them I usually do not play on the street and do stupid stunts but I did get on it from a very slow speed and they just hooked like crazy and they drove like normal tires on the way home.I have over 400 rwhp also.

Its all in what you are looking for in the tire. Miles or Hook? Here's a run down on the top three:

Nitto 555R- about 12k miles....hooks good on the street, they suck at the track
BGF G Force TA- about 8k miles....hooks well at the track
Mickey T's- about 5k miles....damn good bite at the track!
