Drag radial tire wear ?'s

I was thinking about the BFG's or the Nitto drag radials. What the approximate mileage that you got out of a set? I drive like a complete moron so I don't expect a lot of miles. Just one season about 5K miles if I am lucky. My last set of rear Kumho Ecstas only lasted 4,000 burnout infested miles. I do not drive the car in the rain so I just want all out dry traction.

Nitto tires are known to last about 10,000 miles. If you can't get a set of Kumos to last more than 4,000 miles than your Nitto's are doomed.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I heard BF last even less but stick better.

I have had my Yokohama DR for a year and they haven't shown any wear at all...........I'm nice to them though.
These are them.

Get the nitto's. I had 315 nitto drag radials and loved them, and I am planning on getting a new set when spring rolls around. I got them used with about 6k miles (EASY DRIVEN) on them and they had over 50% left......then I added another 8k hard miles on them. They were hella bald after that, but still hooked damn good. Not good for rain though.
