Default MT ET street radial duration?

How many miles do these tires last? they look like they hook better than BFG's, and if they last just as long/longer, i'm probly considering em, for now i got a pair of nittos ordered(because bfg's were "discontinued" according to the tire place), and after the nittos i'm goin on a quest to break my rear

BFG's discontinued? must be at their shop only i'm guessing. you can get them from most of the shop sponsors on here or even jegs or summit. the MT's are supposed to outhook any other DR too. as far as the amount of miles you can expect out of them, there's only 1 age old answer too this often asked question, it depends on how you drive them. best answer i can give you is you don't buy tires like these and try to get the most miles you can out of them, it's not what they're for. there isn't any one answer. hope you understand and don't think i'm coming off as a *****.

I have about 2k miles on mine, so far they holding up just fine. Most people told me about 5k or so, but so far, i would guess 8-10k. And im pretty mean to my tires.

not at all, thats been my theory for the most part, you dont buy these cars period to get mileage...in general, they have those diamond tread ones but i didnt think those hooked real well, anyways, yeah, I think i'm goin for nittos on street for a while.
