What DR's for me?
 
First off, I have some ET streets mounted on stock 16" z28 wheels for track use.
With the recent upgrade to a 4k stall (not to mention the 150 shot), street tires are pretty much useless to me. The car is not a daily driver, but I have put about 5k miles on the car in the last year. I have 17 x 9.5 AFS ZR1 replicas that the new DR's will be mounted on.
I'm considering: M/T DR's, Nitto's, or BFG DR's.
As far as I know I'm limited to a 275 with my rim size.
How many miles will I get out of each of these tires?
As far as traction, I'm guessing M/T > BFG > Nitto. Is that right? How much of a difference between the three in performance?

I have been running the BFG's all summer went to the track about 4 times and made about 35 passes. They are still good and will get me through atleast half of next season. When running them at the track they like nice smokey burn outs in order to get them to stick. Hope this helps.

Can anyone tell me how many miles they've gotten out of their M/T drag radials?

3-4k is the average.
