Thats not a bad price. I was quoted $176 each for the nitto dr's. I was also quoted $126 each for the bfg dr's. I think the tread wear on the bfg's is a little better than the nittos. As far as the front, just ask the tire shop. They'll have suggestions.

I'ld say the biggest question is are these for a daliy driver or a fair weather car? If they are for a daily driver I would say go with the Nittos, they have more tread from the get go and are much better in the wet stuff. If it is a fair weather car than I would say the BFG's are probably going to be a little better traction on the dry stuff but give you fewer miles of wear. That's just my opinion though... I have and really like the Nitto's...

I got mine for $125 ea on a GP a couple of years ago and have been verry happy with them. They won't last as long as regular tires but they do pretty good considering what they are. They are horrible in the snow though! I got stuck in the Taco Bell drive through 2 winters ago! That's when I decided I needed a beater for the wintertime. Somehow 450hp and drag radials on a lowered stang just didn't get along with the snow...
