I'm at my 2nd set of 555R and next set I buy will be the same thing again.

I like the traction and they last pretty good for sticky compund tires !

Wow, everyone suggests 555Rs... only problem with that is he says he needs them for daily driving. I wouldn't go near the Rs or RIIs on a daily driver unless I had like 500rwhp and could afford to spend $500 on tires every 5-10k miles. BFGs are even worse... <5k miles from what I've usually heard.

I'd get some 265 555 radials. I've got 285 NT555s on the back of mine and I have to work pretty hard to break them loose. Either really romp on it right from a stop or go really fast around a corner... Got 2-3k on mine and they look brand new... I'm looking for 25-30k out of these.

I am getting the 555r drags since I am heading up to T&J performance next week for a 2.8 pully and Tims' (Cobra killer for the newbs) custom EFI solutions tune. I could be right at the 500hp mark so I am going to need these tires even more than I need now

Just nuts man... Still want to see your car. I'm probably moving to tampa in the next couple months. And BTW, you should be fine with 265 kumhos all the way around man... those things rock!

I really don't know what should I get. Lots of people suggest Nittos while other BFG. I have to make up my mind. I drive my car less than 3000 miels a year, so I'm not concerned about the tread wear. I could even afford to by a set of tires and wheel for track use only. What would you guys do?

I personally ordered 285 Goodyear eagle GS-D3's for the rear, apparently they hook almost as good as DR's and have amazing wet and dry performance. Not sure if I wanna go 285's up front, I feel it might be too big.
