I think the 275 M/T drag radial will hook harder than a 315 Nitto DR. The Nitto's are a great street tire but they aren't that great for strip duty. Look at any drag radial class in drag racing and you won't see the Nitto's on those cars.

I actually am a bfg fan myself. I have no choice Im tired of changing rims everytime I go to the track so just gonna go 315 cause they look siiiiick and everyone knows that Looks like bfg's again online tires has em for $180 a piece! Nittos good for street poopy at the track, bfgs decent street and good track, Mickey t's excellent at track, no good on street and snapped 10 bolt Bfg ftw!!!

Yeah I agree. The Nitto's are more for street use. Everyone I hear running the M/T love them. If you wanna hook go with M/T....and a new rear end

Coming Soon:

Tire Sizes
P275/40R17 LL
P315/35R17 LL
P285/40R18 LL
P305/45R18 LL
P315/40R18 LL
P345/30R19 LL
P315/35R20 LL

yeah the nt 555 dr's suck i have herd that alooot from a bunch of people but the bfg's and especially the m/t's i have herd the best stuff from racers. but the new nittos look like they might be taking a good stab at a whole new DR they look like and sound from the product reveiws they will hook hella good.


as for the rear end..lol i dont wanna jynx myself but unless my 10 bolt has been beat the **** out of on the street which it hasn't, it will be fine yeah its a s10 7.5 rear basically and is weak no doubt about that but for my mods and plans i think it will hold the line for a lil while... if it breaks ill get a Dana 60 and some 35' swampers and call it good.
