Default Tires!

Routine thing when you own a mustang getting new tires, but the hardest part is trying to get the ones that perfrom the best and last the longest. My friend has these BF's and i love them and his tread were is awsome (he doesnt have a stang but still). Good tires??? better for around the same price?? thanks

nittos are great STREET only tires, at the track they do alright... BFG's are great STREET/STRIP tire they do great on the street and the track but treadwear is low... for daily driver tires get Kuhmo's or something

I have the same tires and they really impressed me the way they hook up on the street. At the track that may be another story. [&:]

I have the Eagle F1's as well. They are crap for drag racing but do very well for the street... especially in the rain.
They are hard rubber so they last quite a while... at least 30k-40k highway miles.
