Default bfg drag radial vs m/t drag radial

I drive 6-7 mile round trip to work, any way I need two new tires for dd and I need drag radials, i am going to go with a 275/40/17 in either a bfg or m/t. i know the m/t hook a little better but which tire lasts longer???

BFG will last a lil longer. MTs will hook harder, not last as long.

Whats the speed limit on your drive to work? MTs aren't going to work too well at anything over about 40 mph in the rain though. But they'll hook the best.

Nittos suck for anything over about 350 rwhp if you want to hook up at all, but will perform best in the rain and wear well.

I run the BFG's all year and have about 5K miles on them and about 20 track passes and they are hurtin bad, if that helps at all. I haven't tried the MT's yet but that is what I plan on in about a week.
