Hey everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Whatever works for you.
To answer the Toyo to BFG barb.No that wasn't how it went as much as you may have assumed.
1st it wasn't a barb.
2nd it wasn't even a reply to anything you said. It was a reply to 87Natl's post on why there are such varying opinion on things. I guess I should have quoted.
I could have just as easily said if a guy went from Toyos to <Insert Drag Radial Brand Name here> and his car isn't that fast and he was able to spin his Toyos with no problems but not his <insert Drag Radial Brand Name here> he would think they hook the best ever. AN explanation for why there are so many different opinions not why your opinion is based on less information than mine.
For me the BFGs lasted less the 10K, hyrdoplaned like a SOB anytime there was a decent rain, and didn't hook anybetter for me.
The Nitto's @18 PSI pressure hooked better, handled way better in the rain and have lasted over 20K.
In case I wasn't clear, my Point is this:
For traction drag radials suck. ET Streets, ET Drags or the like are the only tires I think hook worth a damn. Et Streets are too soft for everyday use if you drive your car everyday. Sidewalls are to soft to handle worth a damn in normal driving too.
When forced to drive my car on radials, for overall Value, Peformance, wear and street manners I prefer the Nittos.
