Where are you going with your question?

I only put 3,000 miles a year on my Berger SS and I have BFG gForce KDW tires - why?, cause that's what came on my car . . . Would I buy BFG's again yes.

I only put 6,000 miles a year on my Convertible SS and I have Kuhmo Ecsta MX tires, why?, I have different width 18" wheels, and makers are limited . . . Would I buy Kuhmo's again, probably not.

I would never run a drag radial on my car since I do get caught in the rain everyonce and a while, and I don't feel the risk is worth it . . .

If and I say if I were to have to choose between Nittos and BFG, I'd buy BFG's in a heartbeat, Nitto's from all that I read run narrow, and what is the point of buying a supposedly wider tire, if they are making them small???

the reason im asking is because i hear that bf's are a bit better for drag racing. but that they also last a lot less.

I have nittos on both of my daily driven high perf cars...275/50/15 on one and 315/35/17 on the other. They are fine in the rain until past 3/4 tread life. I have had many sets, and on average with track use they'll go 12-15K miles. FWIW I love em !!!

i have nittos right now for daily usage.theyre fine in wet weather until they start wearing.snow might be a different story.


i like them because they dont wear fast and are good for the track and street.



if it wasnt my only car id have BFGs.

I've had both. If you can't afford new tires every 3,000 miles. Get the Nittos, the BFGS hook tons harder but just wear toooo fast.

Peace,
Josh
