Im going to be buying some drag radials soon, but I am undecided between the BFG's or the Micky T's. Ive seen the Mikcy's at the track and they look like they launch pretty hard. What do you guys think is the better tire?

[GTsetGO]

i have the BFG's right now and like them alot. i am going to get the Mickey T's the next time around just so I can see which one's work better for me.

oh, and i got one hell of a deal on the bfg's, so that helped in my decision

[sonicblue]

my buddy has had both and he said the m/t are MUCH better. i have m/ts and love them. even when they are spinning it pulls hard

[TheUNZippee!]

In a DR the M/T's are better.

Either way, make sure your rear is solid. :wink

Not plannin on doin 4k launches, just dont wanna spin all the way down the track.

[MATT02GT]

And for you guys runnin these on the street, how much life do you get outta them?

[2000stangGT]

they dont last long on the street. maybe 1k miles? or a lil more

[03_StangGuy]

If your looking for DR wit some life i read the nitto 555s get about 15k under normal driving. Im plainin on gettin a set, the tread design should provide fairly good wet traction oppossed to other DOT DR with their groove down the middle.

[HMUSN]

the M/T's will hook the best.

I like my tires to last a little while so I went with the BFG's

[sonicblue]

the m/ts arent too bad on treadlife but yea i think the bfgs would last longer on the street. just get a extra set of wheels for some m/ts

Is that a typo or are you high? The m/t's will last much longer than 1k miles! Try closer to 10k depending on how much you do burn outs, longer if you don't spin them all the time. I love my Mickeys and I recommend them to anyone looking into new tires. Just be extra carefull in the rain because they will make you hydroplane if you're acting goofy in water!

[2000stangGT]

haha oops ya i meant 10k lol. ive heard the nittos last longer around 15K but don't hook as well.

+1

Go with the Nitto's!

[2000stangGT]

if you want them to last longer then ya go with nittos but if you want real traction go with M/t

as far as traction goes best to worst
M/t
BFG
Nitto

and reverse order for lasting time

In wet weather though, i'd say the Nitto's & BFG's would be a better choice for traction IMO.

i have an extra set of stock rims in the garage with my bfg's on them. then hell if I am going to wear the tread on them on the street and not the track

[Drgnracin72]

the mt hook better but i only got around 3k miles on my last set and they didnt even get to goto the track and no burnouts. just driving on the street and they dont last long.

[03 R Code]

Wow, that sucks for you! I had my last set for a little over 9k and there was probably another 1k or so left on them before I got the bigger wheels... I made it to the track pretty regularly on that set also, probably something like 4-5 times a month!

[03_StangGuy]

How do the drag radials handle in the corner when fully inflated? I dont plan in takin them to any road courses but i dont want to have to to limp around the corners either. Im thinkin bout gettin the nittos to use on my daily.
