The car is an automatic and will have a 10" 3800 rpm stall converter with the ability to lock right after the 1-2 shift at WOT. The car is driven about 7 months of the year and these tires, 315/35-17's will need to last 7500-8000 miles. I need to know about the info I posted above and how the tires act in general street driving. Country roads, bumps, pot holes, braking, any info you can give me that would make one tire the obvious choice. It seems the BFG's are the ones to stick without being warmed as warming will most often not be possible. NITTO's seem to be the longer lasting but the 7500-8000 is fine. So 3800rpm launching on tires not warmed more than the driving that they already would have in a given situation. Not likely to be in the rain but must last the summer-7 months @ 8000 miles. Guys that have/are using either and can offer opinions please do. If there is a reason you would not buy one of these again let me know why. You guys get the idea, I need some serious help! mark __________________ '99 Convertible. 4.10's, PYPES catted X-pipe and catback. UDP's. 75mmBBK TB/plenum. JLT CAI.

Then I hear the BFG's will not last long at all, not good but they stick like glue. I will have to hope the wide NITTO's make a difference. Anyone else? Thanks guys, mark __________________ '99 Convertible. 4.10's, PYPES catted X-pipe and catback. UDP's. 75mmBBK TB/plenum. JLT CAI. UDP's, Brenspeed custom tuned SCT. SVO intake & SHM cams this winter!

White99stang MM's nicest mod, :) Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: elkridge, MD Posts: 2,851	Since you say that its 99% street it shouldn't matter that you have to heat them up to get them to hook, cause thats only at the track. From what i have heard and seen nitto's hook up better on the street than almost any drag radial but they suck at the track. So go with nitto's __________________ Have a Nice Day, Especially MSO 99 Mustang GT VT 302 Stroker 11.13@123 f.s. 9k 06 Dodge MegaCab Diesel 455rwhp/815rwtq
