Hey Guys... If I put Nittos on my Mustang which is a daily driver, will I have any problems? How are they in the rain? I would take them off for the winter months but I'm concerned about the rain. If you're going like 40-60mph will the ass end slide out? Are they worth it? Thanks

How about the main difference between 555's and 555R's? The R's have better dry traction but the 555's have better wet right?

I like my 555's. Good tire, I hydroplaned last week at the beach cause of some sprinklers flooding the road, but other than that, great tire. I'll buy 'em again.
