Best STREET/Drag Race/Stop Light Confrontation TIRE?
I use the old style BFG's whenever I go "hunting" and I can say that it works QUITE well...
I cant wait until I get the newer style ones though.
Only question I have is, when do I have to replace them? The tread is all burned off, but I only put them on for "hunting" and they will NEVER see rain.....

How about the falken Azenis? the recent Sport compact car had comparisons against 3 tires, and this one held up very well. Plus, it would do great for autocrossing as well, if you're into that.
Ive heard the Nitto NT555 Rs are not bad either.
they are $74 shipped from www.tires.com

BFG DR, for track only
555R, for street/strip
why?!
BFG's will be on the threads in a couple 1000 miles
while the 555R's will last 3 times as long.

for street hunting, I use these really rare tires...
they're called Michelin XGT-V4's... they suck!
for the track, I use a different tire, there, I use Michelin XGT-V4's... these still suck.

The BFG's are a good tire... I'm opted to say the Nitto 555R's are better b/c they last longer. The Mickey Thompson's [i]could[/] be driven on the street as long as you had them properly inflated and got a smaller size that wouldn't be obvious to the 5-0.
I thought all you need is a single bead on the tire to be considered tread? I saw a Stang with MT's (I think) on it and I asked him about it and he showed me the tire and it had a single tread down the middle and it has to be something like at least 1/4 inch deep or something...

EDIT: BTW, BFG all the way! Potenza S-03's are better for autocrossing, I know I would feel bad burning those up at a stop light, them shitz are expensive!!!

Mickey Thompson does make a DOT drag tire called the ET street...basically a slick with a few dots of tread.
Gotta love MT gumballs!
