I'm posting in here beacuase I figured I would get the most feedback

Well I currently have Eagle F1 GS-D3's on my cobra now and am thinking about going with something different. I'm in AZ and don't plan on ever being in the rain with the car either. Of the following what is your opinion/ experience with each?

BF Goodrich g-Force T/A Drag radial-
http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/bfg/productIdSubmit.do

Nitto NT01 - http://www.nittotire.com/#index.tire.nt01

Or would you recommend something more along the lines of the Nitto NT555R's or the BF Goodrich KDW's etc.

What is your opinion on the Eagle F1 GS-D3's?

What tire has the best dry traction on the street??

Thanks:beer:

NT01's are R compound Road Race Competition tires.... what are you using the car for? If you're driving it around town... get the GSD3s, if you drag race it... get drag radials, if you road race it... get the Nitto NT01s

I am looking for a tire that will hook better than my current setup, GS-D3's, and have heard nothing but good things about the BFG Drag Radials but wanted some input on other options. I havent heard much about the Nittos though. The tries would be used for driving around town but I want something that won't just spin when I want to get on it.

I'm going with the BFG dr's. They seem to have the best responses on here. Also supposedly if you air them up to the max they actually handle pretty good.

The Nitto's will last longer but you will not get as much grip. My BFG's grip with 520+Rwhp in 2nd gear without even a warm up. I'm only going to keep these on my car from now on.

Here are a couple pictures of the BFG's they hook very well.
