I run BFG street tires. A set of M/T ET's or slicks on the side on some small rims would be nice for the track. I prefer to run on street tires though.

the nittos are suppost to last the longest of all the DR's. other options are MT's and BF's. I was gonna go with DR's but maybe now i will consider some pirrelli pzeros or something.

told my buddy to get the DR's from the beginning, he didnt want to and got BFG KDW's, then went out and bought another set of matching wheels and DR's and now runs the DR's 100% of the time.Waste of money and space to now store the KDW's(in my garage)

i have no TAs and for this I can only tell from what others say
TAs seem to have horrific traction. they look great but from a performance aspect they seem useless.
i never went on a track with my car, but if I ever will I wouldn't put BFG TAs on em ...
