I was wondering if anyone has opinions on drag radials? I have heard that the only 2 to get are either nitto 555r D/Rs or BF goodrich D/Rs. Have heard good and bad about both.
What have you heard good, & bad about them specifically? I have seen some pretty F^cked up 555R's from Nitto, & though they grip nicely, from what I have seen there quality is not on par w/BFG's. Besides BFG's hook better.
I have just heard people argue for the 555s and for the BFGs, some people like one, some like the other.

speaking from experience, i have tried both and the nitto's are a waste of rubber. the bfg's that i have on there now are the best investment i have made in awhile. i went from a 2.2 60' with the nitto's to a 1.74 60' with the bfg's. its your money.... good luck

And the fact that the BFG's aren't that expensive compared to Nittos!

The BFG Drag radials are called just that. Their Comp T/A are another kind
