Nitto 555 tires arrived at my door today.

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 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.
