I was looking at the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radial 2 for $151 each plus shipping, 6/32" tread depth, and i was looking at the Nitto 555R Drag Radial for $183 shipped, 6/32" tread depth, and i was wondering a few things.

The tires will be used on 17x11 ZR1 rims with 50mm offset. They are 315/35-17. I rarely if ever do burn outs, and i doubt my engine has enough power to even spin the 315 drs.

About how long will each last?
Which one would be better in the rain?
Which on would hook up better?
Which would you reccomend?

Thanks so much, I'll be ordering one of them today.

The Nittos will last longer. The BFG's will hook up better. Mickey Thompson's will hook up the best and wear out the fastest. None of them are "good" in the rain as they all have reduced tread depth. They are designed to be driven to and from the track and raced on. They are not intended for daily driving. It is a fact that many people do drive on them daily but the manufacturers are careful to say they are designed for racing.

They all wear out quickly, depending on use, as the tread depth is limited and people do burnouts with them. For drag racing, 15" is better than 16" is better than 17"...

 

Well i plan on getting some 15x10 rims with some very sticky tires for the track, but want some daily driving tires that will hold aroudn 400-420rwhp.
