I buy all my tires from Summit. They sell both Mickey's & BFG (& many other brands) Ask for a tech that really knows tires & tell them your application (car weight, driving type, etc). An experienced tech can tell you everything you want to know about each brand & model & assist you in making a good choice. My car is heavier then what most of you guys are running (3400 lbs). The BFG drag radials with traditional pattern (there are 2 patterns) work well for me as they are a little stiffer. The Mickeys will hook better but wear out quicker. My front tires last forever it's the rears that sometimes only go a day or so!
