During the summer, I drive about 30 miles everyday for five days, and about 5 to 20 at the most on weekends, and sometimes none on the weekends. I was wondering if a set of BFG's or Nitto's would last me a complete summer of transportation? Better yet, how many miles are typical under normal driving conditions? This isn't counting the wear put on them at the track.

What i'll probably end up doing is when I want to go to the track, i'll just install the drag radials, and when I arrive back home, i'll put my everyday tires back on. I'm assuming that this is a better idea. What do ya'll think?

Let me know!

 

I usually got about 10k or a little more on my old Mustang and BFG's, never used them on a FWD car though.

 

I would imagine that a FWD car would place more wear on the front tires since they are having to turn and propel the car. Therefore, I am assuming that I will get at least 1,000 miles less usage out of them than you did.

 

i got anywhere between 8-12K out of them with many track passes...

 

i got about 4k out of my bfgs but i was burnin them down every chance i got!!!! THEY TURNED INTO SLICKS WITHIN ABOUT 3 MONTHS

 

nittos will probally last you the longest they are a harder compound ,,,but you will also give up traction

 

my bfg's lasted about 10k thats longer then any street tire i ever used on my hatch just make sure the camber is in top shape

yeah i agree.

my bfg's have roughly 8-9k miles street driving with around 25-30 passes and still have maybe 1/3 tread left

It's not really camber that wears tires, its TOE....but the more negative camber you are running the more the tire will wear when the toe is out. Trust me, I used to do alignments for a living. I run -2.8 camber, my toe is perfect and I have no abnormal wear ever
