A lot of people run too much psi and they wear in the center too quickly which sucks.

Hard drag radials would be no fun.
I have seen both soft and hard nittos..... usually it all depends on how you heat cycle em and where you drive em. If you go to the track all the time the compound on the track keeps em softer.

my bfgs lasted about 500 miles. I had almost 750whp at one point, 3.73s and the car would roast them 1st 2nd and 3rd. I only used the car for street racing/occasional cruising

my ******* MT 325s were at 1k when i sold it...almost full tread. same driving habits.. more hp.

whats the point of building a 750rwhp car if you aren't going to set it up to get traction?? those tires can handle the power.

I've never had a problem with 275 Nitto 555r's even with a 415rwhp 2900lb car.
I'm gonna throw some Nitto's on my Cobra whenever the hell it gets out of the shop.

How was it not setup for traction...? It hooked fine on the 325s...
