BF Goodrich DR vs. Nitto 555R

[Y-TRY]

Any opinions compare/contrasting the new BF Goodrich G-Force T/A Drag Radials vs. Nitto 555R Drag Radials?

In particular, the 18's, on 9.5" wheels

Nitto 285/35 18's, BFG 275/35 or 295/35's

Things to consider:

Tread life?
High-speed stability?
Straight-line hook-up?
Max Load? (the BFG 18's are rated for lighter load. 1201 vs. 1609, but how much do I need?)

I'm sure there will be some sort of concession between the better hooking tire and the more stable tire, but if one tire is BOTH, then let me know.

Any mags done a comparo? If so, link?

Is it really beneficial to swap to a DR?

The car is built to drive, but I don't get to as much as I'd like. I generally don't go crusing in inclement weather, but I don't want to park it under an overpass at every sign of a sprinkle. With 3.25's and Overdrive, they need to be pretty stable at 80-90mphn cruising and short supersonic passes. Very little track-time (road race), although they need to compliment the beefed-up suspension.
