I need some good drag radials for my Cobra. I cant hook up for shit with my new mods. I here back and forth about BFG's and Nittos. But the only people that know are the ones that have used them. So which one will hook up more and last long? thanks

i've heard BFG's can go around 5kish miles and nittos tend to average around 10k or so...both of these should be with occasional track use.

These are the numbers i got when I was going back and forth. I also know some people with the nitto's that don't really go to the track getting 20k out of them.

Depending on how you drive i'd say about 3-5k for the BFG's and 7-10k for the Nittos.
