I had the BF Goodrich's and i had no complaints. You heat those tires up at the track and i launched around 4000rpm and it slipped just a hair and than took off. I wouldnt race any other way now unless i was going to a full out slick. I didnt drive the car daily though. It saw about 3000 miles a year. Well you decide how much your going to use it, if more often then just get the nittos. Good luck

you have to heat them up more but a lot of the guys use them you want a driving tire as well as track time correct?

I have bfg and they hook really good. You have to heat them up very well at the track!
I drive mine daily and they have lasted for a good 2 months, with a couple more to go.
