used to think the nitto 555's when the car was bolt on only, now with the cam, i went to the track tonight and could not hook up!!! Going back to the M/T's radials, just sucks that they dont last that long

What are the miles you get out of the MT's? (ruffly)

I remember I was lucky to bet 5K from my BFG's and my Nittos would go about 7k. With the Nittos you would have to "warm them up" like crazy before they would stick well.

I got 10k miles out of mine and that was weekly trips to tampa and various street racing.

I have been told that nothing sticks like the Hoosiers. I don't have any personal experience with them though.
