need help on purchasing some DR's
 
I have a 00WS6 w/ mods (in sig) and 18x9's wheels in the rear, I have a set of track tires and wheels but I need a set of street radial tires. I can not launch my car at all on the street and I need a tire that will hook decently on a good black top. I am looking at BFG's and Nitto's and if you have any suggestions post up... also I would like to know what kind of mileage I can expect.

Thanks

Wrong thread man.

Wrong forum... but I'd recommend BFG's over the nittos, if money is no object. Nittos are a better value, in terms of performance to dollar ratio, though.

sorry about the wrong thread, but does anyone know what kind of mileage you could expect from bfg's

The new MT ET's are the best DR out there in hooking terms, also most expensive and with a very short life span (I have heard 3-5K) Next are BFG drag radials, with a life span of about 5-8K depending on how you drive them. The worst hooking/longest lasting (and the ONLY ONE i would ever drive on in the rain) are the Nitto 555 DR's which should last 12-15K miles but after 5-8K I would question their use in rain.

BFG's are meant to be run even after all tread is gone...just not on the street. They still have useful track life.
