I have used both the Nittos and the BFG's on my C5Z06. I liked the Nitto's a bit more because they were a little more manageble on the street. And they felt like they were stickier. Of course that's just my opinion. Many more to come. Also the M/T street drag radials are pretty impressive.

I've use Nittos 305 35 18. They are pretty good and last a lot longer than the BFG's. However, I've found the BFG's to hook better and that they can handle a bit more power. Just my two cents.

I like Nittos for street driving with occasional track time. Then if you do not drive on the street much the Et street radials and BFGs work really well!

The Nitto is a good street tire that does drag racing
The BFG is a good drag tire that does some street driving
The MT ET Street Radial is a slick in disguise

The MT ET Street bias ply however provides the best tire for the Z because it flexs better. Many of the regular Z drag racers are using ET Street bias ply
