drag radials? best for street use?

Hi, i need advice on which drag radial to run. They will be run mostly on the street, and i need a tire which will hook extremely well and also wear well at the same time, i was thinking bfgs but i hear that they wear out extremely fast

drag radials in general will wear on you quick. they have a REALLY soft compound compared to street tires, and dont have the same amount of tread to start with

Yes, i realize that, but i was wondering if there was one radial in particular that has better wear characteristics

For what you're describing, the Nitto will be the best for you by far.

I have used bfg's an nitto's for street tires. I think the nittos are much better on a daily driver.
