I'm sure this has been beat to death, but I searched on here and couldn't find much. I have narrowed it down to these 2 and I just wast to get some opinions please. BTW going on a FWD.

i'd go with the BFG's, but then again, i don't like nitto tires all that much.

nittos will get the most milage but bfg is stickier. A mt is the most sticky but gets the least milage

The BFG is a much better DR than the Nitto. I've run both, and the BFG's were definitely superior. However, if you want the BEST DR, then get the Mickey's. The ET Street Radial is the stickiest radial I've ever used, and will totally outshine the Nitto and BFG.

As far as a DR goes, M/T > BFG > Shitto's. I had 555R's on my Mach 1 and when I made the switch to BFG's I noticed a nice difference in 60' times. As far as on the street goes the Nitto's have VERY good street manners for a DR. I drove my Mach daily on them with no issues.

BG02 shop Supra was cutting 1.3's with the BFG's, but the MT's are head and shoulders above them. Honestly, if you're looking into this type of tire, road noise, mileage, and all the other bullshit should be on no concern. Traction is all you need to take into consideration.

Hey just recognized your engine bay. Thats my old car your riding. I ran a 12.7 in that car on bfg 225/50/15's Never cut below a 2.0 though. I would get ET streets. If you ever have any ?'s about that car PM me.
