I have heard that Nitto 555 up front and Nitto 555R in the rear is a good combo.?? I've had GY Eagle F1 for 2 years, (w/ less than 8K though on them), though they stick quite well and offer good response, is this enough mileage for a tire of this caliber? I haven't drag-raced yet, though I do spin them from time to time at stop lights, etc. Whaddya think?????

Also, don't reaqlly care the stock GT seats, what has been a good combo of quality vs. price out there???

Many thanks all............

Jeff

now i've gone the opposite with the tires...i've run a few set of nittos and switched to gy F1's and i won't go back...i would say i got 12-15k on the nittos avg and they just plain suck in the rain....the F1's are super sticky...but more money.

I run Nitto 555R's at the track in the rear and I dunno if I like them yet, feels like I'm spinning still

My Nitto's hook pretty well at the track as long as prep is decent. I still have stock tires on the front.. IMO, if you're not running at the track don't waste your money on dr's.

Yeah unless your racing quite a bit the nittos drs arent worth the money. What i would do though is leave the eagle F1s up front and Nitto DRs out back.

I have to agree. If you don't plan on seeing track time or race your car from a dig a lot, don't worry about drag radials. The F1's are sufficient for twisties to a degree and everyday driving.

Sorry, though I can't spell much it seems, what would

be a good seat, D&P, front only that offers great or even just good support and also at a reasonable price. Stock GT seats suck &^%.
Thanks,
Jeff
