What exactly do you plan with these tires... Daily driving? strip-only? Don't drive a lot of miles?

street/strip racing. Only miles I would put on themwould be going somewhere to race or tothe dragstrip, and maybe cruising around a little

my vote would go with bfg's... very good tires to hook, and they have a little better wear-ability than the MT..

I'm not really worried about how longthe tireswill last. I'm just wanting the best traction you can get from a street legal tire.

Well, I've seen some good 60' times from both MT and BFG.. Both will be able to snap that rear end if you're not careful..

If you're doing that might as well do the diff. Then throw some slicks on her and HOLD ON for good short times..
