Nittos will last longer than BFG's but I've made my last 2 sets last about 14K miles. Of course, i don't drag the car (basically, I don't do burnouts in it), but if you just drive around with them with the occasional 'spirited' run, they'll last. The Nittos last the longest of these tires mentioned here and probably are better in different weather.

Lets us know what you decide to go with!

 

whats the most miles you can get out of bfg's?

 

I have the BFG's and from what little ive used them on the street they have hooked very damn good. however they suck *** in the rain, i seriously had to slow to like 45 mph in the frwy last time we had some showers, and also the wear is crap (wear rating is 0 lol). They do look pretty damn sick from the back with that pattern tho and run wide in a 315 unlike nittos.

 

normal driving them everyday I would say about 4-5k miles or so ive read on the reviews? but so far i got about 2k miles and i could already notice the thread isnt the same but maybe its just me i dunno, you throw a bunch of passes on them and well....valen bird lol

 

I have gotten 18K out of a set of Nittos on my old DD Z-28 A4. And i got a whopping 2800 miles out of my first set Go easy on em' and they will last. But when they loose their sticky, it can literally be from one run to the very next. Sometimes they will be sticky til they are showing cords, very weird tire compound.

I have no experience with the BFG's other than seeing people "try" to launch them on the streets.

 

jus get some nitto's for everyday driving cause they last for ever then get an extra pair of some 16" wheels and put on th M/T's for the track.

 

we have a winner...those are them...but im not sure if they make this pattern for a 17inch wheel i belive you can only get them for an 18 i forgot ur TT2's are 17's...i kno they make the other pattern but i have had those and i wasnt very happy with them..they were just ok...u will have to check

 

bfg should work great for a stock car to bolt on car
my bfgs suck and we have had this talk
its your money bro you get what you want to get bfg or any your tire will work for you car nittos will just last longer
and iraq is hot whats up

 

alex mickey thompsons on the 350 lasted 12k miles. and that was with atleast 50 burnouts and races.. he had 275/60/15

 

SUp man!


i thought you said that the criss cross pattern sucked.

 

Go with nitto!!!! People that are saying they wont hook have probably no experience with them. I have had both BFGs and Nittos, nittos last twice longer! Asfar as traction goes you wont be able to notice a difference between the nittos or bfgs on the street! At a proper psi and warmed up they will both hook without a problem. At your power lever nittos will have no issue dead hooking. Infact you will probably need a new rear end before you need MTs.

Major difference between the two is that BFGs SUCK in rain. If your in a highway while raining dont expect to go over 20mph IF THAT. With the nittos you still have to be carefull but its a night and day differece, they do well.

Like i said you will only notice a hooking difference at the track, and at the point where they start to spin, you willl probably be looking at a new rear end.

Just make sure they are set to proper air pressure and you will love them. And goodluck getting bfgs to last over 5k street and tracking driven DD. Nittos are just better FOR A DAILY DRIVER, if it was more of a track car then BFGs would be fine

notice how the wider the size the more its like a slick?

and yes these hook very nice

 

here is a shitty pic of how my BFG's look from the rear.

 

the nitto drags are the nt555r? how much are they?
best price i have found for the bfg's are 209.00each

 

Yep, those are the NT555R's, Have you tried summit racing?

 

nah, dont want to pay shipping.

 

ive run 555r's and M/Ts...HANDS DOWN the m/ts are better if hookin and leaving is ur main objective...the 555rs take a pretty mean heat cycle to get them to anywhere near the mt but not bad over all..theres gives and takes...i made my last pair of mts last well over 10k miles and ive gotten well over 15k outta 555s...nevr ran any bfg at all

 

i believe i once saw like a hemi cuda that was in popular hot rodding or some other magazine's fastest street car challenge running a 2 stage nitrous big block using the bf drags and claimed to be the one of the few in the challenge using that tire and he was passing a 8.xxx in the 1/4 so yeah they do "ok" lol

 

yea the wear has alot to do with your air pressure. you cannot over inflate a dr. keep them around 25 psi all the time and they will last longer
