I just *tore* through my first pair of BFGs (which have hardly any tread depth on them brand new!); I'm wondering if the MT's would be any better for treadlife. Nitto 555R lasted quite a while but I kept spinning the crap out of them on the street, could not hook at all. And yes, I have a good suspension setup for rear end bite.

Please post up if you've run on both the BFG and MT...

Thanks,

No. If anything they could be worse for treadlife.

i would spin my bfgs so much that they lasted barely 1000 miles. I have about 100whp more than you and switched over to a 325 ET radial. Now that i can't spin the tire as much, the tread is lasting longer.


BFGs are SUPPOSED to last longer though..

Nittos last the longest, then bfg's, MT's will be gone the fastest

With stupid power nothing lasts on the street. Not anything that hooks anyway.

I guess the difference is that when you spin the BFGs you must chunk out a lot of the compound; when you spin the Nittos you don't. I guess it's time to really practice part throttle.

All this wear is on the street, of course.

which hook better at the track?

I think the general consensus is that MT's hook a bit better than BFG's at the track, with the Nittos significantly behind them. The Nittos are also said to require a John Force burnout to get them sufficiently sticky.

I don't have a ton of power but The MT DR's lasted longer then BFG DR's for me. Not to mention how much better they hook!
