Default Anyone running the BFG Radial T/A tires??

Im in the process of shopping for wheels and tires and I'm kind of on a budget. I want to run a good set of rear tires that hook relatively well. I only got about 405rwhp so i dont need anything serious. This is going to be my DR so I'm also looking for something that will last. Has anyone been running these tires...

If so, what do you guys think of them?

Those wont hook much better than regular street tires. Rule of thumb is the longer the tires last, the less traction you will have. Tires that last a long time, normally have a hard compound that is made to last and have typical traction. Tires with softer compund will hook better but wont last as long (drag radials, extreme performance tires). I would suggest something more in-between like BFG KDWs, Or nitto 555. If you want good over all performance tires that lasts a while, at a cheaper price I would go with Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta. good traction wet/ dry. Had these on my previous Daily driven camaro. loved it.
