WHICH DR's
 

Buying Some dr's and this is my first set. Which ones are best all around. I know BFGs dont last long. Dont know about MT's

RE: WHICH DR's
 

From what I've gathered the Nittos are the best all around drag radial, that is between treadwear, wet traction, and racing traction when heated.

i voted mickey thompson... i have em... no complaints here.... o and ive been daily driving on them for the last two weeks, in the rain and such.... again, no complaints

RE: WHICH DR's
 

I've ran bfg's, they lasted me a whole six months, but they are stickier then my Nitto's. I could pop out the clutch at a little over 4 grand and the whole car would just catch tractionand launch.


I can't quite do that with the Nitto's but I'm still happy with them. I've had the Nitto's on now for about 7 months andthere is still a lot of tread left.


So i guess I vote for Nitto's for a DD.

Over a year on my Nitto 555r's and look barely used.

RE: WHICH DR's
 

nittos last longer, but they are significantly less sticky than the others in that list... depends what your priority is, thread life = nitto... traction = MT ....i can't rate the hoosiers because i don't personally know anybody that runs them, but MT > BFG > nitto as far as traction goes. i don't even consider nittos a true drag radial, it's a 'tweener radial' right in between a good street radial and drag radial.

RE: WHICH DR's
 

How long do the MTs last? Anyone?

RE: WHICH DR's
 

If you drive your car on a regular basis you cant expect drag radials to last. A good sticky tire is the nitto of course but for much cheaper you can buy some fuzion ZR-i
They are limited in size though. I put some on another fox i had and could not believe the traction, both wet and dry, i was impressed.They are called a ultra high performance summer tire. Check them out. Once people catch on that they are a very nice tire i am sure they will get more expensive.
