I know how you guys like good handling tires so I'll ask about these. I've read alot of good articles with the only drawback being the tirewear (being 200). Anyone tried these out or do you think they may be too sticky for a daily driver.

A couple things...
Treadwear is not a set standard. It's more of a comparison between the same manufacturer's tires and I would put very little weight on it. My drag radials have a treadwear rating of 0 and go roughly 15,000 miles depending on the amount of burnouts/racing. If I drove it nice I'm sure 20,000 is possible which is what some people get on some tires with a 200+ treadwear rating from other manufacturers. Stickier usually means it will wear out faster but not always.
Traction ratings too, they're wet traction but have nothing to do with dry traction.
No such thing as too sticky.
Nitto makes a good tire. You might also want to check out the Dunlop Direzza star specs. The specs and reviews are awesome. I'm taking corners harder and harder trying to wear out these BFGs to try the Dunlops out.
