I also put a new set of BFG's on the car a few weeks back. Yep they are sweet when they are new. It is nice to have some traction back compared to my Nitto's that looked good when they went up in smoke.

My recommendation is to get the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. Size 285/35/18 is optimum for you. It will last you longer than any drag radial and should hook just as good as the nitto's. Not to mention the rain will be far superior and they only cost $10 more per tire. Expect 3 times the life of a nitto out of these tires.
GSD3s can make 1.70 60's? If so I'd be all over them

What's up fellow melbourners

Not much, seeing this is on the 3rd page.
Get a second set of wheels and put some real tires on. At some point you need to realize that you can't have everything. Get a rear end while your at it. If not, just keep street tires.

I cut 2.02 short times on 18" Kumhos. Put some M/Ts on the 16's and change them out for the track.

Nitto's on the street ... MT Street drag radials for the track. Gotta' watch the rain with any DR, as was mentioned. MT Street DR's = death in the rain.

Then think about a rear end that won't pop with the addition of real tires.

If you don't go often anyways, then you surely won't go if the is any chance of rain. I also doubt you would go in the summer months when the chance of rain is high and it is hot as hell. Swap the wheels out at your house and drive over and back. Swap at your convience. The beauty of a DD, mine has sat on the welds since July.
