Your hate stems from early age trauma? You dislike anything that has TT's? :lol1:

Mine are clutch breakers. We tried to break the Nitto's loose out in the street in front of B&D. It was all go, no spin...

I'm going to get a couple of runs on them at LACR before I strap on the ET Streets. Then they will be sitting in the truck staring at us pleading to be used...

Tetge experienced the same problem, I think the Nitto's were the final straw that put his clutch in the crapper.

"i'm doubting this grip city business"
What exactly is it that you are doubting?
What's your best ET so far? :eek: I don't remember ...

I assume you are just trying to piss me off, but, noooooo, I won't fall for it. :lol:
Brian was the last person to give them the 'how sticky' test. You might want to check with him if you have trouble accepting a statement of fact from me.

"when i put the BFGs on mine,"

m,
when you get them, let's do it. We could take the two cars,
get comparisons between the BFGs and the Nittos.
We are probably relatively close in HP (+- 10%) --- I don't know what I dyno at now.

Just keep trying, you might get me to react strongly, not like my previous friendly jab...

the bfg's stick better but are garbage on the street
if you get 1000 miles on em your lucky

the nittos can squeeze at least 5k miles unless you go to the track on a weekly basis
