Default Drag Radials

What is the best drag radial for a daily driver car that does most of its work on the street and hardly ever at the track?

I have friends who both use BFG and Nittos on the street. I believe both to be good tires for street use. I use M/T ET Streets at the track and they hook if you ever wanna go to the track.

Nitto will be the best for mostly street use. They wear better than the BFGs do. By a couple thousand miles...

Nittos are better for a street car hands down.....BFGs supposedly offer awesome traction but they will likely wear out after no more then 3-4000 miles. personally, i've got a set of 275/40/17 nittos on my car for about 10K miles now, they've been through 50 or so track passes, a whole bunch of street racing and every kind of weather you can imagine (though i have to admit id probably ditch them if i still had to drive my Z in the snow). after all this, i've still got a decent amount of tread left....o BTW, a good burnout and they hook like glue! (at least with my setup)

Besides tread wear, I'd say the Nitto's are safer in the rain as well.
