I've never run the BFGs, but from everything ive heard the Nittos make a much better street tire. I have no complaints about mine thus far.
Nittos are an ok street tire but when you start making more power you see thier short commings.
Meh, a guy i know has a 393ci '95 Cobra and is cutting 1.6 60' with 17" 555Rs, i think he's running in the high 10 low 11 sec range...

Not saying they can't work just that in most cases they don't work as well. I bet he could run a bit better with a better tire. A 1.6 60' is not that great for a high 10 low 11 car, he should be in the high 1.4's, low 1.5's

I see what you're saying, i know they arent the best drag radial but i think they're better than a lot of people think. Who knows also, maybe its how he drives.
