Well, I'm running Nittos right now. Next time I'm getting BFGs just to compare the 2. Haven't used BFGs b4, so I can't vote...
I can tell you that the Nittos last long, with moderate trips to the drag strip and road driving. Also, VERY good wet traction for a drag radial (very impressed). Terrible cold weather traction..... just terrible. Somehow, though, I haven't been able to get it to hook as well as I thought I should.... I keep thinking it's the track. One thing's for sure though, when I went from the street tires to Nittos, I felt a HUGE difference in traction on the street and the track, my ETs dropped almost half a second also... I couldn't get better than a 1.97 on a mid 13s run on those tires, but I haven't had much time to practice so maybe I could do better, I don't know...
