Depends on what you are looking for. If you want a longer lasting and hooks ok get Nittos, if you want some that hook and dont last as long get BFG's if you want some that really hook and dont last long at all get Mickey Thompsons ET street radial.

I just bought a pair of M/T from Jonboy at Hilbish Ford in Kannapolis for 160 each. Give him a call, he always does me right. 704-933-4867 ext. 35.

I got 5 months out of a set of MT's
I get 11 months out of my Nitto's
The Nitto's are MUCH better then the mickey's in the rain.
My car hooks on the street ( NOT THE TRACK ) Exactly the same as it did with the Mickeys.
A working suspension has ALOT to do with that.
This is my Personal feedback on both Brands.
I am on my 3rd set of Nitto's,So three years later = Still Happy
I use MT Slicks @ the track,So i have no 60 foot numbers to compare between the 2
From results i have seen,The MT's work better @ the track.
I have seen one of my customers break a axle on a set of Nitto Dr's ( They have to be doing something )

I've had Nitto's,BFG's and M/T's.

M/T's wear pretty good and hook the best out of those three for me.

BFG's wore out the fastest. Nitto's lasted the longest and hooked ok long as the track was good. If the track was marginal the M/T's are the only ones I could count on.

Had a 1.39 60ft on the 275/50/15's and a 1.41 on 275/40/17 M/T's with my coupe.
