If you could get us BFG's in time for the shootout that would be great and we would send the Nittos back..

I'll pm you

Nittos hook ok on the street, horrible at the track but will last
BFG's hook like a **** on the street or track, but won't last long

 

Well i guess i'll re-think the DR thing

With over 600whp i was able to get a 1.7 60ft. off the 2 step on stock Advans.

This was the very first time launching an AWD car and first time ever using a 2 step.

The killer is that this was THE VERY FIRST time i had ever even drivin the Evo since i bought it a month ago and built the motor

Straight from the dyno.....on to the trailer.....into the staging lanes......and then OFF THE LINE

 

I heard the Nittos are better for street driving because of the tread pattern and they don't wear as fast. As for traction, a friend of mine cut a 1.7 60ft with a 500whp 03 cobra so they hook pretty well. If you had them on all 4 corners, you'd be great off the line and decent on the (warm) street.

 

For the track they have a narrow window of decent traction, few thousand miles.
Very inconsistent tire from my experience on my previous 500rwhp 03 Cobra. However, after they gave up at the track they still provided respectable traction on the street. I couldn't cut any better than 1.9's with the Nitto's, switched to ET Streets and my 60 foot's immediately dropped to consistent 1.6's

The other thing I found is that Nitto's have stiffer sidewalls and don't like to be shocked on the launch. BFG's have softer sidewalls, are more foregiving and one of the reasons they're more consistent besides being much stickier

 

Those are my exact thoughts on the Nitto's and BFG's that's why i had MT DR's on my 03 Cobras w/ over 600whp and they hooked solid in first at the track and on the street.

Once we add about 50 more hp and raise the 2 step i think i'll run some MT's on some CCW's

 

You're darn right you wont live that down.... at least not with me.

See ya next week cletus!
