I've had both, BFG hooks way better. They just dont last as long. Nittos are better in the rain. I got 9k miles outa my BFGs. If your looking for great dry traction get the BFGs.

actually if u look at the first post im referering to the bfg kd which is a regualr radial tire. the nittos are dr's. but i will have diff. wheels/ tires for track use so its looking like the bfg's are going to go on.
