I have heard the same M/ts best traction but dont last long on the street. BFG Ok traction longer street life than m/ts Nittos lousy traction but long street life. The set of bfgs i had on my coronet were used,i put about 2,000 street miles and 50 passes at the track,and then i put them on the t type i have now and put about 1,500 miles on them and another 50 passes on them and they are done now.They hooked good for me. ---

I have MT ET streets on my car, I love em, when I got the car they were at the wear bar, 1000 miles later they are still at the wear bar (I also ran Mickeys on my old Formula) I have had the BFs and I fucking hated them, they went from 50% tread to dead in about 800 miles Never ran Nittos but I hear they last forever and are the best for the street but you wont be cutting awesome 60’s the rears on my car are 335/35/17s IIRC ---
