i have bfgs they have about 18000 miles on them <very hard to believe but they still have alittle meat on them but i rarely spin them I have 97 a4 c5 the only time it will spin is with the nitrous and they helped my et out greatly I went from a 12.6 with a 60 ft of 2.6 to 11.87 @117mph 60 ft 1.9these #s are on a 100 shot

I also have to add the bfgs are not a good wet road tire

Leave your street tires on for the street you don't need to get into a race at a red light if you want to race on the street go from a roll.Get a set of bfgs on 17x11s(315/35/17) there are a few sets floating around out here at a ok price.16-17 psi make sure your traction control is off do a 10 sec burnout and see what happens.Your rear is a bit low for that 3500 stall you want a 342 or 373s Good Luck
