Wanting a new set of drag tires wanted input, good bad & otherwise. Traction is primary, anthing else is secondary.

If it doesn't have to be a radial, then ET Streets are the best ...except for wet roads. Then BFG's .....then Nittos.....

 

Nittos work better on the street, BFGs work better at the track.

Thank for the replies... Does M/T make et's in 17" size???

 

For mild use bfg's work well.good for running some 1.5 range 60ft times with the right combo.and i did here that m/t was coming out with 17 inch.

 

i like my bfg's and i even keep them on my car for regular street driving. No complaint here. Good tire for the money and they have 'em in 17

What are the exact specs on the BFG's? Where can I get them, and how long (many miles) can I expect them to last? I need new tires bad. I got a qote for some extreme drag nittos for $192 a piece. Is that any good? The consensus seems to be for the BFG's over the Nitto's.

 

I dunno which Nitto variant you mean but the
Discount Tire Direct sponsor --------------->
has Nittos for about $159 - $170 depending on
variety, and free shipping.

BFG drag radial tires also around $160, and the
g-Force T/A KDWS also at that price.

BFG KDs from them are like $280; is there a $200
a pair performance difference there, or would
you be better off with Nittos and the next
bolt-on of your choice? Enquiring minds wanna
know.

Yes, MT does indeed make Street Drag ET's in a 17.

I'd get Nittos if you drive in rain and long distance.

BFG's hooker a bit better than Nittos but they will be bald by 2500 miles and will be dangerous in the rain.

ET's are worse than that, and yes I drove home on ET Streets once for 60 miles and it took me 2 hours.
