BFG CompT/A or G-force?

Which street slicks would you reccomend, the comp ta drag radial or g-force. I am limited to these because I am buying the 17x8 Torq thrusts.

I've got the G-Force T/A's street tires and they hook pretty good on the street and track but since they are a soft compound they don't last all that long. I have the 275/40/17 size.

Stock WS6 wheels off of a 97 Trans Am, 17x9.
A little rubbing on the inner fenderwell area towards the front.
Not sure if it was with these wheels and tires or with my 16" GTA wheels with the 255/50/16's.
I was also rubbing with the front wheels when I turned the wheels, not sure if it is because the car is lowered or from the 17" wheels.

I have the comp ta drag radials on my rs, and they hook up unbelievably the only problem as mentioned above your lucky to get a 1000 miles out of them, they go quick from just driving it. I probably wont get them again it just aint worth its just better to get a cheap set of rims and get some micky stickeys
