I've never used any Nitto drag radials on my car, but I have used 6 (six) sets of the BFG 255/50/16's in a span of 2 1/2 years. They hook really well but the treadwear is a joke. They are practically illegal tires when you 1st get them. Very close to the legal limit on tread. I would say that you would get 2500 miles on them before they become outright dangerous. They go bald quick and do not play well in the wet.

I swear by the street traction though! I will get 2 extra wheels, put the BFG's on and swap them on for the weekends.
