Nittos last the longest and are the best for the street, but the MT and BFG's are more stickey, gripping, how ever the nittos last alot longer, up to 15,000 miles, and the MT and BFG's last around 5.. so it all depends what you want, but beware, ive hear the wear out really quick.

I have more than 5000 miles on my BFG's and they will last another summer. The key is not be a retard and do burnouts all the time.
