i have tried the bfg's drag radials, adn the mickeyt's but not the nittos, i couldn't hook for **** with the bfgs. the mickeys were nicer, didn't last as long, but i def hooked better and have heard that in comparing the mickey'ss to the nittos, the nittos yes last longer, but hook worse, i choose hoook than last longer, it's the price u pay for having power.

I've had my M/T Drag Radials on for about 4 months and have went to the track many times, lit the tires up on the street, and run through all the gears barking 2nd and 3rd. There is practically no tread wear and i've been driving around with 12 psi for pretty much the whole time.

These tires hold up fine and the only draw back IMO is if you hit your brakes in the rain you'll be powersliding like a ****.

BTW, Nitto has the worst drag radial ever created. Their compound is just as hard as my BFG KDW's on my other stang... Plus i've run them at the track and lets just say traction becomes a problem.

nittos last the longest and hook decent. Friend has them.
My other friend had bfgs he said they hooked good for a while but hardened up
He is now running mt's with no complaints.

but was it your daily driver? and if i had it at a more "normal" psi, how would it affect the wear?

i went and tried my MT's out one night when it rained. went to a parking lot, from a dead stop and punch it, it just spun. from about 10-20mph, didnt go fast in lot, the car stopped perfect, even jamming the brake to the floor, psi was at 32 lol they shop that mounted and balanced set' em high lol
i didnt ride anyones butt in the rain, just took my time. is it b/c foxes have drum rears?
