For the track BFGs or Mickys for the street up to abour 600 hp Nittos cause they wear and last like a normal tire and have better rain grooves on them

M/T are gonna last maybe 3k miles. You can get a set of nittos to last 10-12k. If the street car visits the track frequently I'd say M/T's. But an ocassional trip to the track and "spirited" bursts on the street....nittos. -Mark

I would have to say it has alot to do with the size, M/T if your running a 15" wheel, if your running a 17 or 18" then go with nittos. My M/T gripped better then a hooker in a time crunch.
