BFG? That's what I have now, but does anyone feel there is something better on the market. Nitto? Kumho? Is Mickey Thompson ever gonna deliver on that 18" they've been promising?

with the amount of power you have in your sig...i doubt a drag radial is going to hold all that torque...i mean on my stockish 00 gts, they hold great! more then enough traction. but if your in the 700+whp level i dont imagine that they'd be sticking so well..

Kumho V700R's might do the trick.

Kelly my friend. Since your car is slow and has no balls just like mine I guess we could use the same type tires. In 06 I ran4 different tires.

Kumho V700. 2000 miles on the Hot Rod power tour. Decent interstate tire but I did not like the feel over 120mph. In the street excellent traction, great launches. Sucks in the rain.

Pilot Cups, more money and a better tire in every category except for launching and still a better tire then our Pirellis for the street and strip. Not as much grip as the Kumho but enough for what you want to do.

The Pirelli is my favorite but the best times I could get with them was the 1.65 the day I was with you. Still in the street it does require patience.

Run Flats= Just suck

Do not use the BFG. Great straight line tire but either the Kumho or the Pilot would be much better. Call me tonight if you could after 9 Kelly.

Another opinion. I've never been impressed with the BFGs, just did not hook up on my 550 hp 6sp Vette, 500hp auto Grand National, and no-gas 6sp Viper. May try the nittos..if they have the size.

good luck with your dr quest!
