I've been looking at the same size. Here's some info I've gathered since this is a new size for me. The BFG's are only available in the old tread pattern in that size, not the new one from my research on some tire sites & BFG's site. The MT's seem to be on back order due to them relocating to a larger production plant. Nitto's are priced really well & are probably the best if you plan on driving on the street quite a bit & want the best mileage:performance ratio. And lastly, I have no input on the Hoosier DRs to report.

I tried to use the search to do more research here but the dumb *** company that took over the site screwed **** up & it's a pain in the *** to find stuff now since it seems only primitive searches yield any results.

Oh, and to close, I'm going with Nitto because they are cheap, work decently, and I know I'll get 10k miles+ out of them at least. If I could find a good deal on the MT's I'd probably ****** them up, but I am getting my new FM5's soon & don't feel like waiting for the MT's.

thanks for all your input i was wanting MT's and like you said since they are on backorder for awhile its a pain in the @$$ to wait. but then here lately ive been hearing about the Hoosier's that alotta ppl are using and i really want to learn more about how good they work and how long they last...

Well, if they are 'THAT' good I could sacrifice some mileage. I just have yet to see anyone running them. Maybe I'll be a guinea pig & get some....I'll have to see if my buddy can get a hook up on them, but I'm not sure if Discount deal with Hoosier.

i've had nothing but bad experiences with nittos...my car spins all over the place and wheel-hops with the 555r's ()....MT's have been good to me though. Hoosier makes a good tire too, but i have no personnal experience with them.
