Nitto 555's?

[Pennywise2]

How do you like your Nitto 555's are they good tires for the street?
What in your opnion of the Nitto 555's? Are they a great tires for the
money? Thoughts?

For the money, they're prolly the best DR's you can get. Very cheap and their tread life is very good without sacrificing much grip. Still one of the best tires out there.

street or DR's?

Great tires, I have them on both my cars. Think of the dr's as more of an ultra sticky street tire. BFG & MT's are stickier, but last a ton less miles and cant be driven in the rain.

Street tires

I have the TTIIs with the Nittos 275/40s up front and 315/35 DRs out back. I can tell you this the DRs are, as mentioned above, good sticky street tires. Prior to putting these tires on, I could walk a long distance with the Dunlop 8000 Sport tires in 2nd gear. I used to rev and dump the cluch and just go. I tried that with the DRs and those babies spun a little and gripped hard, pushed me tight to the seat and the car just pulled with alot less spinning. I was like Yeah. Also, I got caught in a downpour on Mother's day weekend and the tires kept me planted, but of course I was no fool and driving wildly in the rain but they felt capable - just don't push it - talking about the DRs now.


Peace

I still have my 555's up front. Those have been a great street tire.
I used to have the DR's out back, and they are really good for street driving, however didn't really net me any success at the track over regular tires.. Keep in mind that Bristol, VA is poorly prepped on open nights.

My MT Drag radials have been much more successful.. but as said above.. I wouldn't try them in the rain.
