i just got my nitto nt555r drag radials and im going to the track in 2 hours and ive been told not to drive to the track on them by numeris people because of the soft tread what do you guys think

 

[Tim2002GT]

Nah! I put 12k miles on my last set of Nitto dr's! Nitto's have a pretty good tread life for a drag radial. If you had BFG or MT dr's then I would definately limit the number of street miles you put on them.

Good luck at the track!

I drive around with my 555R's all the time. No problems at all.

thanks guys just put them on
just curius what do you think me car will do in the quater mile if i hook up good

Depends on the driver. Should be good for good mid to low 13's.... about about 100-102 (d/a matters here).

I drove my bfgs on the street... in an auto car with a 3500 stall so they didn't spin a whole lot. but they faired really well.

Hooking is only one aspect. Is this your first time?

The whole point of DR's is that you can drive them on the street. Maybe people thought you had slicks.

13.6@104mph

i did good i guess my best run was a 13.917 at 101mph i was hooking up great but getting bad reaction times and this was my third time to the track i would go alot more often if i had a track near me the closes one is 2 hours away i will post the videos sometime soon

Congrats! Not a bad run at all! Is that your first 13sec timeslip?
