I have the Nitto's (actually 2 set of them). I love them. I never ran on the BFG drag radials, but heard they are better. I run 14's for my drag radials.

i meet a guy about 3 weeks ago that was racing a GTO with an LS2 and supercharged. running 11's with those nitto tires. i think size was 245/50/16
i run these. size 255/50/16 on my camaro. but those tires need a long burn to hook up right

the nitto leans a little more towrds street tire. being it last longer, and takes longer to heat.


me, honestly, I have ran the bfg's on several cars. I prefer them. will only last about 3-4000 miles on the street but I will take the tradeoff for the tracktion

I was looking at these until numerous people told me they take too long to heat up... BFG's all the way.
