Nitto has a harder compound which makes them better for the street, but the BFG will hook better at the track.
I was all set to test the new Mickey Thompson Drag Radials, but nobody has them in stock.

I did the Dana 44 swap earlier this year with new 3:73's...I'm running Nitto DR's out back full time...315-35-17's...they have been fine so far but I do have to be careful in some of these heavy rains we get down here...my motor is still stock so my 60' times are no better than street tires...more consistant though... good luck

I'll be getting another pair when these are done
