how important are:
1. straight line grip
2. lateral (cornering) grip
3. wet traction
4. snow traction
5. longetivity (mileage)
Once we have an idea on how important these are, we can advise you better.
hmmmm. i pick 1. and 5. i just want a tire that hooks well coming out of the hole.Quote:

yeah someone said they were goodQuote:

I've run the Nitto555, and the BFG g-force kdw's... both are real sticky and have about the same longevity.
my only complaints:
The Nitto's suck in even a little rain, and the kdw can get terrible road noise after a couple of thouand miles
I ran better 60' with the Nittos, but I like the look of the KDW much better (they run wider and have a bad ass thread pattern if you get the NT)
How many miles did you get out of the Nitto's?Quote:

Now I have bf goodrich g-force super sports. They are supposedly a ultra high performance all season tire. They hood pretty good. But also have a set of MT E/T streets and they hook like none other.
