I have to say I like them from the little driving I have done so far. They give the car an agressive look, and they seem to hook pretty well. I can post pics if you guys want, but I wasn't sure if you would want me to.

My first set were the 505's and I swore i'd never buy another damn Nitto tire again as the tires were basically a piece of $h*t. Hopefully the 555's are a much improved version of that tire.

Ok the nittios imbarsed me yesterday i was comeing out of a used car dealer ship and i went the wrong way and needed to pull a U turn and all the sales guys yelled just swing it around in a smoking burn out.....welll i rev it up to like 1500 ish and just slam the gas enought that would have spun my old tires badly....but the nittos spun for a sec then just took a full lock trun in 1st gear with the pedle mashed down...so after the trun i had to stop then i reved it up to 2k and gave a bit of break and floored it that left 2 nice tire tracks out of the parking lot but i couldn't do a donut when i wanted to with these tires. I'm sold...my old tires probly would have spun soo bad i wouldn't have moved enought to make the trun.

Here are the pics... Let me know what you guys think... I concentrated mainly on the tires... I'll get more pictures once I wash her. Right now, it'sw too hot out.








Also, these tires grip the road extrememly well around corners... They really show the weaknesses in the stock suspension.

Bring your car down here to FL, throw some soap on it and let it sit and the rain will clean it for you. Been raining every day for the past week and its raining hard

Tired look nice, what size did you get for the rears?

I like those. When I actually need new tires, I think I'll look into those. It seems everybody and their cousin have these Kumhos that I'm running now. Gets a little old seeing them everywhere. Three cars in my family have them!

I think when it's time for new tires I'm going to get Nitto DR's in the rear and the regular Nitto 555's up front. Shouldn't be too long now, because my rears have been feeling the wrath of AFR's + 4.10's. They should be like slicks soon, LOL.

Ya, if you guys are remotely thinking about getting the nitto's, buy them. I don't think you will regret your decision.

I think it was $160 a piece for 275/40/17 555's which made me stay away from thoes and just get the 275/40/17 555R's instead... Just waaaaayyy to much money for some tires for me at the time.
