Nah, they arent on the wear bars just yet. lol they are getting saved for over the summer. Im getting a pair of BFG KDW 2's in 335/30-18's for the rear for street tires. But i would definitely buy the BFG dr's again. They perform and look awesome too. Cant wait to put another set on my car.

Any drag radial that has a treadware rating of 00 is not going to last. lol but will hook better than the nitto's with a treadware rating of 100. But i wouldnt necessarily tell you to get drag radials other than nitto's because your mods list isnt that intense yet. If you had the full bolt ons with gears, i'd say go with nitto d/r's or maybe something a little bit stickier. But for full exhaust with strange 10 ways and no gears, nitto d/r's would do very well and even most street tires would do very well for you. If you need help finding some good tires, let me know. I would just try to find some cheap snow/all season tires for your stock wheels if you still have them and just put summer tires on the new wheels. Much better that way in the end. Just my opinion.

Yea, i like the NT555's. Had them on my last set of wheels and they were good tires. I really liked them. Also look into the KDW 2's. Same treadware but they look like they will be a bit better in the rain as well.
