best street dr's
 

what would be the best drag radial for street use?

i love my nitto's for the street, my camaro is pretty much a daily driver, so id rather have tire life over a grippier tire

i have had both nittos and bfgoodrich drags n the choice is easy! the nittos are definitely better for performance n will last longer in my opinion! my third pair is on the way!

I used to use Nittos on my old car, but now I only use BFG's. I had 275/40/17s on my old rims and I've got a pair of 315/35/17s sitting next to me here waiting to go on. I get pretty good treadlife out of the BFGs and they grab way harder than my Nittos did. Nittos also run a little narrow, and they looked weird on my old car, the front tires (BFG KDW's or something like that were noticeably wider than the nittos out back.

I daily drive on Nitto 555R's. They do look skinny compared to other tires. I feel safe in the rain too, even at 60mph. I dead hook in these tires, however I drive a shit box.

my 315/35R17 M/T hook soooooooo much better than the 315 Nittos.

How is tread life in normal DD conditions?

Nitto's FTMFW!!!! mine hooked great on the street and tread life was respectable. considering it was a DR and i was racing alot when i was running em... maybe 20,000 miles out of em, 15,000 at the least i'd say, but im not %100 positive on that, its been awhile

The MT's should last around 12-15,000 depending on how much you go to the track or how often you do a burnout.

The basic consensus is that nittos will give you the most tire life, while MT's will give you the worst. but that is because the MT's will give you the best traction and nittos the least. The bfg's fall right in the middle. so just make your choice on whether you want more tire life or more traction
