I'm going to get the Nitto 555's.... If anyone has them and can tell me how they like, or anything of the nature I'd be more than happy to listen. Thanks.

They have a great treadwear rating especially for the type of tire they are. Had mine for a almost 2 years and not one complaint.

their a good tire for the money but definetely not the best. Many other manufacters top out the 555 in all kinds of performance but their more expensive. I have 235/40/18 NT555 on my Max and im never going with them again. wet traction is crazy bad. im gonna get Bridgestone RE730 next time around, i wanted the S0-2's but even with my discount is too expensive...

They are great for tread wear and awesome in wet conditions. With that aside, I personally think they suck in traction/cornering in the dry...I've seen much better, but then again, I've also seen much much worse.

wet traction was HORRIBLE

but overall for the durability (life of the tire) and cost (decent to low) it is a good buy. Pass if you are going to seriously race.
