Message mileage considerations, handling, and ability to use at track. While the BFGs will net you a lower 60' by about .1 second comparing the 245/50/16 in the Nittos and the 255/50/16 in the BFGs, the amount of wear is radically different. I'm on my (around) 6th set of Nittos and average 20,000miles per set. You can expect 3 to 5 thousand miles on the BFGs. Also, they are a little taller tire so you loose a little help from the gearing. To say "they suck" is a rather dramatic exaggeration, to say they will net you better 60' times is accurate. I've done some high 1.8s with the Nittos and low 1.8s with the BFGs, but I'm old and just a rookie at this, so take the info fwiw. Take care, Mark
