D.O.T.'s?

Don't know what BFG has. I've use the Nitto 555's & the Yoko A032R's and like the Yokahama's better.

Yokohama A032R are not drag radials. The sidewalls is quite stiff, and will not be too kind to your suspension.

Drag radials/slicks have much softer, more compliant sidewalls to deform and absorb the punishment of the launch, as well to increase the contact patch.

We run the BFG Drag Radials on my friends and they are great. He uses them for street racing and he uses slicks for the track. I don't have any yet but will go with the BFG's when I get some. No one I know likes the Yoko's but a few like the Kumho V7000's but they wear out quick.

Most guys that I have talked to preffer the BFG's as they are softer and do not require a massive burnout to get heat into them, like the Nittos. The Nittos are better if you want to drive with them on the street as they are harder and will last longer.
