i like my BFG drags, but they are also the only drags I have ever owned. I'll be buying either a set of MT's or another set of BFG's for my 10.5 wheels pretty soon

I was very happy with my Nitto's. they performed well for street driving and hooked very well on and off the track.

I have used BFGs and Nittos. I have to say the Nittos hook better on the street but they are smaller and that messes me up in the 1/4. On the track there isn't any difference in the traction for me. Just because of the size difference I am going to go with BFGs or Mickey Thompsons next time.

I run the M/T drag radials on my pony rims 255/50/16 they work great for what they are. I also have my quad shocks removed.

If you can get 2 mt radials for 150 do that. You can't beat that price.

The Mt drag radials are on backorder. That's why i bought another set of BFG's. I've used them for years and have been happy with them. Hopefully when these wear out the mt's will be available.
