Nitto or BFG Drag Radials?

[spray175]

Which are better and why? Im having a tough time deciding. Which are better in the rain?

Nittos will be better in the rain and will last quite longer than BFG's. However, if you want maximum grip and barely drive you car on the street, go with BFG's.

Personally, I'm going with Nitto's, just because I really don't want to change tires every 4000 miles.

i agree with what Lurker said. ive got the Nittos on mine right now.. heard they *can* last up to 15k miles. but we all know that wont happen :burnout:

I had mine (315-35-17 Nittos) in the rain the other day and was supprised how well they did, still have to be careful.

Cool thanks for the replies everyone. I daily drive my car but I have another set of tires I can swap out if the weather is bad. How long do you think they will last driving normally not ripping the tires all the time? You all are running the 555's right?

can you fit a 315 555 on the stock wheels??

 

[spray175]

Im not sure if they would fit, but if it would the tire would hang over the wheel a good bit.

I have the FR500 10.5" rims and they work best on a wider rim but I have seen them on a 9" rim. If I only had a 9" rim I'd go with a 275-40-17 drag radial.

[TRiedy]
