I have no personal experience with either but several avid autoxers I know have tried the Nittos and *hated* them for the curvy stuff.
And as others have said, there are better, and cheaper, choices than those two.

Re: BFG vs Nitto for MKIV
Drag radials have a very soft sidewall and I can't see them being very good in a corner, there just not desinged to be good in a coener. I bet you could put a stupid amount of air in them to stifin them up but that just masking the problem.

Re: BFG vs Nitto for MKIV
maxQ and Icantdo55: This was what I was thiking, too...the Nittos wouldn't hold up to the turning and such. I'm really leaning towards the BFGs, even though one person has voted for them and 3 for Nitto...and the thread itself has 97 views!! COME ON Nazis, I know you're watching, lol.

I have never been a drag racer, so I don't honestly know.
