My buddy is using his 240 for drag racing, and is having trouble deciding which slicks to go with, BFG or Mickey tompson.

he wants to know which would be best or hear opinions from people that have used them so can you post up your expeirnce with said tires and yay or nay to them and why ?

thanks in advance
Big Zee.

Where is the poll?

And..... MT FTW! I dont even know if BFG makes drag slicks and for sizing, 26x9+. I have 26x10 MT ET Drags, on Weld draglites.

Mickey's are the sh*t. I would definately recommend them over BFG.

muddafakka · 12-18-2007, 02:52 PM

Mickey Thompson no doubt.

Mickeys are Sticky.

But, I do like the BFG DOT DR better. But you want a Slick so I say MT.

Big Zee · 12-18-2007, 10:05 PM

what were the cons of the BFG compared to the MT's ?

sr20boostn20 · 12-18-2007, 10:33 PM

BFG lasts longer but is not as sticky as MT.
BFG's DOT has been better on the street and in rain. MT just came out with a new DOT to defeat this and it looks cool. But I dunno anyone that was tried it.

If we are talking radials...

BFGs Comp TA better at the track

MT better on the street

everytime.

I miss my BFGs.

Im going back in summer.

if we are talking "Street Slicks"

then M and H takes the cake, (not sure if they make them anymore)

then MT

bigOdom1 · 01-04-2008, 10:26 PM

does he plan on competitive in a specific class? if so might want to check and see whats allowed, i have heard nopi series dont allow MT due to the fact that bfg is a cosponsor
