Never used anything but Hoosier, but a lot of folks swear by Nittos.

Nittos have better traction (after you run 'em for a while), but BF Goodrich last longer...........it's the "Great taste....less filling" dilema.</P>

I have been running the BF Goodrichs for as long as I can remember. I am actually thinking of going with the Nitto's this time around because they cost less, and I dont drive my car enough to really care, just need new rubber.

how many miles did you get out of your BF Goodrichs. If I could get around 15000 out of them i'd be happy. Is that possible? I mostly drive on the street but do go to the strip 5 or 6 times a year</P>

I only get about 10,000 miles(at the most) out of my tires. But keep in mind I rarely drive it, and when I do I drive it very aggresively.</P>

check out the bridgestone potenza pole SO-3 tires...they are the best tires around for dry and wet weather.

I talked to this guy who had a 98 GT and he said he had BF Goodrichs on his car. He had to get new tires so he got Nitto's and he says he likes them better. He said it was a lot more comfortable of a ride with them and they have great traction. I currently have Yokohamas and they are great. Great straightline, cornering, and everything else, although I havn't tested them in rain yet.
