Which Drag Radials?

john_86stang · 02-04-2001, 07:36 PM

I am torn on which drag radials to get. The BFG's on my buddy's Grand National seem to hook real well. But the Nitto's have more tread depth(I think twice as much) Anyone have any experience with these?
Thanx

It just depends. I think the BFG's hook slightly better but they don't last near as long as the nittos. The BFG's didn't last 6weeks on my daily driver, I've had my nittos for 2months now and they will probably last another 2 months.

I have the nitto's and for the street I like them but for the track I like my slicks better. Over all I like the nitto's; they do hook a lot better on the street than my last tires(pep boys futura's).

I love my Nitto's, I have over 10K miles on them and ran them every week at the track from August till October. If you get them, make sure you do a long and healthy burnout, this is the only way to get really good 60's. I manage 1.91-1.92's in my heavy SN95 convert'
