Which tire:

I can't decide, trying to figure out what would be the best hooking tire:

9.5" Street Lite wheel in the rear.

1) 275/40 Nitto
2) 285/40 GSD3
3) 315/35 Nitto

I know the 315 is a little stretched on a 9.5", but it seems to fit fine do to it being a REALLY narrow 315.

Which will give the best performance (straightline). If there is very little difference between the Nitto and GSD3, I might as well get the GSD3...

Thanks!

A 315 is "stretched" on a 9.5" wheel.... its "scrunched".

i have the gdyr gsd3 and hate them. poor traction at wot, corning is good but i am mostly straight line aswell. not a fan of the nitto's when the road is cold its like drive on ice with out warming them up. i have a set of bfg drag radials and love the way they hook warm or cold.

What kind of mileage do you expect to get out of the BFG drag radials?

well it all depends on how hard you are on them. just drive on them with no burnouts i would say 10-20k miles, there are drag radials with a 0 tread wear so you cant expect much other then great dry traction.
