Default WHICH TIRES?

I'm buying 315/35/17 and I have two tires I'm choosing from, the BFGoodrich G-Force T/A Drag Radial 2 or the Kumho Ecsta V700. I want an all around good tire for the street/track. Any opinions will help, thanxs.

road racing or drag racing? The kuhmo is a great road racing compound, and the BFG is great drag racing comound

The tires are mainly going to be for street use but also for drag every couple of weeks. I know for drag racing the bfgoodrich would be the way to go but I want to be able to drive on the street and feel safe.

Whats good for just a good crusing tire?
Yes I will get on her and give her some good excersize and open her up from time to time, but I have no plans on taking her to the tracks of any kind.

actually just get nittos, theyll last a little longer and be better in rain, a little, not much. BUT if all you want is traction, go with the BFG or MT ETs

BFG's IMO have a better tread pattern for rainy conditions.

The BFG is going to making laughing stock of the Kuhmo all day.
