Nittos are somewhat better in the rain and have longer tread wear than other drag radials. Mickey Thompson drag radials are more hard core; they stick like glue but wear much faster and will kill you if you try to drive on wet pavement. BF Goodrich drag radials are a happy medium.

I have had both the nittos and the Bfgs.. the nittos were 285/35/17's and the BFG's are 265/45/18's and the BFG's not being as wide hook up A LOT better but they feel a lil wabbly when driving down the HWY

I like the nitto's pretty well.They hook up fairly good considering I've got 4.30 gears,but then again I've never tried BFG's so I can't really compare.

for the street i thought nittos were the same as any other street tire, but at the track they did there job for the most part. but these MT hook better on the street then they do at the track for me. but they hook good anywhere, badass tire

I've got more than 6K out of my MT ET Street Radials,,,(their 2nd most hardcore street tire)...been to the track with them 1 time,,, with less than 200 miles on them, so i believe they probaly were'nt broken in (if thta would even affect them at all though)

launched my 99GT 5sp, 4.10's, and partial exhaust at 3500 and bogged the **** out of it...
thats the highest i ended up launching that night adn i only pulled a 2.05 60'...

but these things stick...that's all i have to say
