Pirelli's, in my opinion, are far too expensive for the short treadlife. Same with Yokohama's, too short of a treadlife for the money they want for them.

Thank you, so it sounds like the BMG on a really nice luxery car is not the ticket but maybe on something loud as for the engine?

For your money I like the BFG. Great durablity, Good traction with a decent treadwear. Sure sticker would be nicer, But that is what slicks are for. For a Daily Driver, BFG's are where it is at.

Sounds like things are coming along nicely.
Slowly getting there, really it's my time that is short.....bussiness, a wife and 3 kids..well I find time here and there

I have to say I like the looks of the Nittos and the BFG's. I am not 100% on the tire size yet. I did my wheel test fit over the weekend so now I know where I have room to play on stuffing these rear fenders Need to look at tires and see what I have in sizes to come up with a decision. I am going to post pics of my test fit in my other thread when I pull them off the camera.
