BFG t/a radial. Hooks excellent. ive had proxies and the BFG. i think the BFG lasted a little longer and hooked good on the track. But all weather conditions were tremendously better with the bfg. which when you have a built tranny, cam, and converter can mean a little bit more.

Not much is going to hook on the street wtih a modded truck in cold temps, atleast dead hook.
