I think the m/t's would be a little overkill on your car, you'd probably dead hook with the bfg's and get lots more miles out of them.

You'll only see an improvement in 1/4 mile time if you're having traction issues with your current tires.

i have bfg's and they hook great everytime. i only ran a 13.1, so i dont have that much power. i think they'd be good for you. they also last longer than the mickeys.

BFG's would probably work but if its ever gonna be a close money race.....the Mickey's will NEVER fail. I used the MT's as my daily drivers. 10k miles,20 something drag strip passes, countless street passes......never lost a race due to traction. They knocked .4 off what my Kumho Ecsta's would run.

I got .45 from MT Drag Radials vs BFG KDW. It would be nice to see differences from someone who's used both.

Yeah that sounds impossible to me...from what I've heard they will wear themselves out just driving on them in no more than 10k, but the guy above also has track use on them...which normally cuts them down to around 5k for most people.

I think the m/t are good for auto's not m-6's. I actually like the bfgs they hook pretty well. You just need to heat them up really good (5-10 sec burnout).
