Comments:
With the 17" Nitto 555Rs, I was able to drive to the track and around town on what look like "street tires" but still cut 1.7 60's consistantly. I put about 25K miles on these tires before they were too bald to drive on the street with them, not bad considering they saw 25K street miles and about 100 1/4 mile passes and plenty of line lock street/strip burnouts. I would recommend this tire to anyone who needs traction.

These are the best all around tires I have ad on my car so far. I used to hook up on a kumho 75 dollar radial and cut 2.0 60' and now with just the 555r in 275 50 15, Im cutting 1.8' all day long in any heat or humidity conditions florida can throw at me. Ive had best results at 13 psi which is less then they recomend. I love them and would recomend them well befor I would recomend the bfg. Shooting for low 12! leep posted ALL MOTOR

These hook like crazy. I love them. My only complaint is that I went out and found a couple of rocks stuck in them like a nail fixing to cause a flat. Just watch out driving through loose gravel, glass, ect...
