Default Drag Radials...BFG, Mickeys, or Hoosiers?

I'm getting Drag radials, 275/40/17 for the stang soon and was just wondering what you guys think.
BFG
Mickeys
or Hoosiers
I have always been saying I'll get BFGs but figured I'd throw this out there.

btw....why can't we make a poll in the General section?


EDIT: nittos are not an option for me, they are crap IMO at the track. I drive a lot of street miles but I go to the track a couple time a month, I rather go through 2 sets of BFGs in a summer that a good on the street and great on the track than nittos that are good on the street and blow at the track.

if your mostly street and barely track and drive an average amount get nitto's.
if you don't drive every day and track every once in a while get m/t's
havn't heard anything about bfg's.

I never had any problem w/ nitto's hooking at the track. They lasted about 13000 miles of track and street driving. You won't get near that w/ the other 2 tires you're looking at.

Guess you're not worried about money either then.

You hate them, have you ever ran them? I'm guessing not. I could care less what tire you choose. Just gave my opinion. Nothing more. But don't come here bitching after you've worn out your BFG's in a short time cause then you'll get the ole, " I told you so"!
