What drag radials???

[duff daddy]

17's are a different world we are talking about 15's

How many miles are you guys averaging on your m/t and nittos.

 

[94 DropTop]

M/T et streets- 181.95/each
Nittos- 175.95/each
BFG- 165.95/each
All of these are from summit racing 275/50/15

Those prices aren't bad but considering the nittos usually last at least 3x as long as the other two i'd say they're a much better deal for a street tire.


I think i had around 10k on my nittos with a few burnouts at the track and they still have usable tread left on them. I would have bought them again if they offered a good 18" size for a reasonable price, but they don't.

are you kidding me? the prices are that close between the nittos and MTs. IMHO if you dont spend $6 more a tire to go from Nitto to MT than....well i dont know but for that close of a price difference it seems to me to be a no brainer

 

[duff daddy]

^^ its no use hes prob gonna et th nittos lol

 

[97stanger]

shame shame

 

[ninety7_four6]

It's a lot more than $6 a tire when you're replacing them 2-3x as often as the Nittos.

I can't help you with that particular tire size, but i have had both Nitto 555R drag radial (275/40/17) and currently
have BFG drag Radial (315/30/18). Both tires Come with less than 6/32nds of tread, so neither are going to be outstanding
rain performers, but with my experience, the Nittos were WAY better if i ever got caught in the rain. BFGs hydroplane at every
chance, just puttin around town, so i never drive my mustang anymore if there is a chance of rain. Both tires hooked well
on the street, but then again I don't have as big of a sidewall as you are wanting to run, so track performance suffered a little
for me. I've heard very good things about the M/Ts, but never any first hand knowledge.

i think im just going to go with the mt. and eat it if they wear out fast or drive weird

 

[duff daddy]

if you dont do dry brun outs and dont drive like a dick hole you will get 10k out of thoes rears

 

[cheddar]

if you dont do dry brun outs and dont drive like a **** hole you will get 10k out of thoes rears

and wicked 60ft's

 

[duff daddy]

yeeeeep

 

[94 DropTop]

one more question which et streets to I want. I see the radials and i see the ones that look like slicks but both are labled as et streets.

 

[duff daddy]

ET street radial
or
ET street radial II

 

[Venom351R]

Nitto's are great for street driving, I only run those for the street now but not the best option at the track. The ET Streets are the best of both worlds

 

[94 DropTop]

so which ones do i want?

 

[duff daddy]

i run the et street radial, you cant go wrong with thoes (et street radial)

 

[97stanger]

Et radials man
