alright, ive been looking at nittos for a while, but im also looking at these micky thompsons i found on ebay. i know for a fact that they are sick on dry road, but i dont know much else about them. I put a picture of em on here. If someone who is nowledgeable on the subject, let me know. Im curious about how they act in the rain, or in the wet, and it higher speeds. All that good stuff. Thanks

Nitto's will be slightly better in the rain than the ET's.

But when it comes to dry roads and getting good bite off the line, nothing is going to beat BFG's or MT's for a street legal radial.

I had Nitto's & BFG's before and the difference between the two was shocking. The Nittos hooked better than a street tire, but they did not hook like my BFG's. I was also surprised with how well my BFG's handled in the rain. I'm sure if I hit enough standing water I'd wish I had regular tires, but they felt much more stable and I trusted them much more than my Nittos.

General consensus is that Nitto's last much longer, 10k+ miles. BFG's are under 8k miles and the ET's are even worse.

As for the ET's, I have no experience with them other than members here and reading reviews.

 

I have the Nittos... I ran with them from April to June last year, and put them back on my car last weekend. They still have enough tread to last awhile longer. They are not bad in the rain.

 

A buddy of mine just bought the BFGoodrich Drag Radials for his Z28. They are ridiculously sticky. He can almost lift the front end off the ground with these things. Good price too...

 

darg radials? lol. i'm having nitto 555r's mounted onto my car, i'm hoping they'll prove to be a good dry street tire and ok track tire.
