thundergod · 06-26-2006, 04:39 PM

ok i'm going with some 275/40/17 d/r's just wondering which is better nitto or bfg they will be daily drivers so which will last longer and work better in rain but still hook good.

I had the BFG D/R's and loved them i got 15,000 out of them but they where definitely done. They are very sticky and i didn't have any problems with them in the rain unless i floored it and then yes they will spin like crazy. I never had a problem hydro planning on the interstate either. Overall i loved them even though i plan on getting a set on M/T street drag radials next.

Agreed with you Matrix, the BFG's hook great, but the nitto's will last a bit longer. I found the BFG's priced a little bit better also. As for rain....it's a drag tire, neither brand will do very well in the rain, just dont put foot into it and leave traction control on.
