Warning for anyone putting Nitto tires on their cars... A Nitto 555 in a 315/35/17 is wider than a Sumitomo ZR in a 315/35/17... Substantially wider. I didn't measure but looks by about an inch.... I drove 18k miles with no rubbing at all on the Sumitomo's. Put the Nitto's on today (not the DR) and they are rubbing and they just LOOK wider... I clearanced at least another 1/4" and they still rub a little bit... Just a warning that if you make the switch make sure you are able to do some needed clearancing quickly if needed. I always bring wheels to the tire shop so I just pulled back into the driveway and had at it with a hammer for a few minutes....
My experience has always been that the Nitto *drag radials* run narrower than a similarly sized tire. Especially narrower than the Sumitomo. Wes
Maybe but the 555 radial is huge. I went this route due to the excellent (for this sixe tire) treadwear rating....
