    anyone use the nitto NT 555 R drag radials everyday?i have 17'9 rims and i was going to run 275-40-17 and then 245-45-17 up front? does this sound good i was gonna go with the NT 555 extreme performance tires up front.

    wuts a good tire besides these, moderatly priced, soft, but usable everyday on the street?

    wut about the g-forces?

      Why use a 275/40-17 in the rear, and a 275/45-17 up front? Why not go with 275/40s all around?

      I just bought some NT 555s for my Z -- not the 555R. Pics in this thread. Anyway, I was asking similar questions.. do a search on my username if you wanna see what others have written. Nittos have been good to me thus far. Last night was the first time I 'used' them for real. Long story, but I won, and the tires didn't even chirp (rolling start, but full throttle up to 90).

      Let us know what you end-up getting and post a pic or two.

        I use the nitto drags on the rear for everyday street duty. They are the best hooking street tire IMOP. THey wear fast, but thats the trade off.
