Question Nitto 555r for high HP application?

I've been doin some reading on the 555r's and the BFG drag radials. I have read that the 555r's are better on the street and they will get more miles but the BFG's are better at the track and better for high HP applications. Well I have around 450 rwhp and this will probably always be street driven with maybe a few times at the track, just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on whether i should go 555r or BFG. Thanks

Andrew

Also this isn't a daily driver just a weekend cruiser. thanks

If it's not a car that sees the track a lot, get a good set of street tires IMHO.

I ran Nittos and hooked my Procharged car just fine on the street during the occasional speed contest.
