what tires give the best grip
this is for a drag radial
the BFG or nitto.
how much life could I expect out of them and hard would they run
dont take it though that they would do any good in auto-x
oh yeah might have a rebuild soon
tired of driving the mav
have a few other ppl who have blown motors so.... might just put the parts together and see what we can come up with

I've heard of guys running Nitto's in autox. The BFG will hook A LOT harder...guys have ran 8's on them. IMO the best one for the street is the Nitto.
speed,
I was looking into purchasing either BFG's or Nitto's. Nic is exactly right! The BFG's are street legal, however, they will have an extremely short life if used on an everyday driver. The Nitto's don't have as much bite as the BFG's, but you can use them on an everyday driver and get around 15K miles on them. I was going to put the Nitto 555r's on but since I installed my new engine and with my supercharger....I don't want to destroy my rear-end.

how would the G-force KD stand up against the nitto's?
I know it is a street tireand not a drag radial but like wear and grip and so forth
