I do believe you guys that the BFGs are alot better but I wanted to see first hand how much better they are. So I bought some nittos first, I'm goina drive them around on the street when its not raining and take them to the track, I'll do the same thing for BFGs.

But anyway, hows this look?

My site has been going up and down for some reason so if the pictures dont work, come back in 5 minutes and they will...





Edit : Sorry, Title was wrong, I ment you guys said to get the BFGs and not the Nittos

Looks damn good to me I can't wait to see them on you car. I also want to see them in person. Hopefully they work good for you!

 

nitto's hook great on rwd's. and they are 10X better for driving in rain and corners and tire wear; basic daily driver stuff. but the bfg's hook better its all the 60' gotta make a trade off.

BFG does have new sizes out for the g-Force targeting the RWD crowd. The middle part of the tread block looks different also.

Damn those BFGs look sick.. if I only had a 427 C5 Corvette to put them on .. shucks

 

its not that they don't have a tire for the rwd guys its just that those guys don't like compromising streetability like we will put up with. the bfg has alot of play in the sidewall which is great while luanching but kinda dangerous at +highway speeds.

well thats what the gforce drag radial was built for .. to bridge the gap .. between a good z-rated tire and BFGs typical drag radial thier Old Comp TA Drag Tire.

the new radials are deffinelty more laterally friendly.. but I doubt rain friendly.

 

The tire rateing tells the story.... nitto's are 100 and the bfg are 60. the lower the number the stickyer they are. I had nittos on my hatch and they worked really well and lasted a long time..... i sold the car befor i wore out the tires....yokohama also sells a really good tire.... go to tirerack.com look them up.....i think they are the rao32 or something like that... i'm getting a set of nittos for my turbo type r 2.0l.... 350 whp.... we'll see what happens....

True, but there's no "industry standard" for treadwear. Companies only rate them within their own line of tires. One company's 100 can be different from another's 100.
