MT or Nitto

[02S281]

Should i get MT drag radials or get Nitto's again?

I can't complain too much about the Nitto's they held up great and i got pretty decent mileage out of them (about 9-10k miles)

Looking to see what the guys running MT have to say about them. I believe they are cheaper and that weighs in heavily in my decision cause i can't be spending over $600 for 2 tires

you are not gonna get anywhere near that many miles out of a set of MT. So I think you should stick to the Nittos since price and durability factor in your decision.

Mickey's all day long, I have 11,000 mile and a soild 50+ track passes on mine and they just hit the wear bars, I know after you hit the wear bars I got another 3-6k left on them plus many of great track passes.

It depends what is more important to you - how many miles you'll get out of them or which will hook up better on the street and track. If spinning isn't a problem for you go nitto, if you wanna hook up there is no better than MT drag radials.

every-1 always says mickey's for the traction and nitto's for the miles...You got 9-10k out of the nitto's? how aggressive were u driving on them..i'm gonna need new tires in the next few weeks and was thinking a drag radial because i cant launch with my BFG sports.

Traction- Best to worse for these three tires:

• MT's / BFG DR's/ Nittos

Tread Life- Worse to Best:

• MT's / BFG DR's/ Nittos

As you can see, the better the traction, obviously, the quicker they wear. If you want to really hook, get the MT's.

From my personnel experience the Best to worse wear is Nitto, MT, BFG.

And for grip, its MTs, BFGs, then last Nittos

Yea m/t get excellent grip but I need new tires for my 10.5 rims prob go wit nittos myself

Look into the BFG's. I had them last year. They hooked much better than my Nitto DR's and mileage wasn't too bad. How much street driving do you do? How often do you go to the track?

Never seen track time, hope to get there a couple times this year. Its mostly for the street cause i spin like crazy.

I may go with the BFG's since they seem to be middle of the row.
