Default BFG's or Nittos?

BFG's or nittos for my 3800 stalled car?

255/50-16 BFG, or a 245/50-16 nitto

I've run 2 passes on a set of used Nittos and got a 1.70 short time but now I'll be running my car with a set of Stage 2 heads.

2.73 rear so hooking up isnt so bad for me.

I was leaning to the BFG's but if Nitto's will still be more than sufficient I'll save the money.

what are yall's experiences?
Thanks guys

nittos for a daily driver and BFGs otherwise.



BFGs hook better but wear out faster.


careful of your 10 bolt.

personally experience with both, the BFGs did hook just a lil better but the nittos lasted a good bit longer so as ultimateorangeSS said nittos for daily & BFGs otherwise but if its gonna see mostly all track use then get some M/T DRs, they hook like a **** but then definatly careful on the 10-bolt w/ those
Is a cam going in along w/ those heads?
BTW, 3.42s or 3.73s would be a good all around gears for that verter if ur gonna change gears soon

I ended up ordering some BFG's. these are only race tires as I drive on 17x10 Boyd Smoothies for daily driving. I'll have these mounted on some 16" rims for the track

thanks guys
