BFG's vs. Nitto's- tread life

[Four-Four-Two]

Does anyone know what the comparison between the two is on how many street miles they last. No John Force burnouts.

From what I've been reading lately, Nitto's last almost twice as long as BFG's. Around 6,000 to 10,000. But BFG drags hook up just a hair better.

I have tried both brands on my car.
The Nittos will waaay outlast the BFG's. Dont even bother driving in the wet stuff with BFGs either. I drove the car daily with Nittos, rain and all, and they lasted at least 2-3 times as long. I think the difference in traction is small, if any between them. Nittos just need more heat to stick, thats all. The BFGs actually start out with a lot less tread than Nittos. Granted I am running 16"ers, and some are running wide 15"s, so I am not sure about those.
...Just my experience. Ask NOSJohnWE4... Hes a dealer for both, and can tell you a lot about the tires.

The BFG's has a softer compound.

Soft is an understatment! Here is a BFG after about 40 miles around town with 1-2 light burnouts.
