Default Nitto's or Bfg drag radials?

Which is a better drag radial nitto or the Bfg? I like the look of the nitto and the price to but I need good performance!

If you're not worried about the life of the tire then go with MT ET Street Radials. Best hook out there.

I've only had Nittos. They are pretty good. Hook good on the street and track and cost less. Harder compound than BFGs.

I've run both, I vote BFG - They hook better when heated right, they stay put better in rain and I've even run them in snow without too much issue. The NT555 and NT555R sucked for me in rain. Didn't even bother trying them with white fluff on the ground.

Well I thought the same thing about ET Streets but I have18's on my car and I want to keep the same wheels on the car! Do you think that if I buy two extra wheels in 17's and run the 18's on the front that you will notice a difference?

well let me clear something up. im not talking about ET STREETS im talkikng abot ET STREET RADIALS. ET STREETS have no rigid sidewall, and causes the car to "walk" at very high speeds. ET STREET RADIALS are much better all rounds street drag racing tires.
