TRACTION!
I know the Nitto 555's havent' gotten a very good review on this forum, but I've talked to a number of people who love them. A good friend of myne has the 555r's on his Mustang and they hook up great!
I'll post a review after I get a chance to drive on them a bit.

I've been using those tires for years on all of my cars. They are great for the street.
A good compromise between traction and tradwear.

I have the 555's on my 8 with 10'' wide rims and 275's they work great for street use in the dry, ok in the wet, although from what I hear they arent as good as the falken 615's. the 555's are very controlable at the limit even when they start to slide.

I have had used the Nitto 450's on my TTZ, Mustang and Maxima, and i love the dry grip and the wet traction that these tires boast . Nitto has a great compound used in there tires as well, if you don't do alot of burn outs, the Nitto's will last!

i just installed these on my rh j8pros (19x 8.5F and 10R). i was debating wether to get these or the falkens. Wether the falkens are better or not, i love these tires. works great

I have 555's as well. They are very good tires I think I have put about 15k on them and it looks like there is no tread wear. Dry pavement they are excellent but wet pavement I say average. Turning on a wet pavement with this tires will easily swing ur rear end.

rear end swinging is good for drifting... :)

I think I told you on Saturday, I drive them in the rain all the time without any problems.

i have them on my 8 now but i'm gonna go get somethin different. just too sketchy in inclimate weather. they wear amazingly though. i dunno i just want somethin a lil more grippy.
