Honest opinions of Nitto NT-555s??

Anyone have feedback of them? Tire Rack doesn't carry them so there are no reviews. Do they last a while and perform decently? Or should I pay $200 more and get Toyo T1-S?

Well, I don't drag race anymore. I just drive like a maniac and I want a cheap tire that will go 20,000+ miles, unlike Kuhmos.

They are good tires, they perform very well in teh rain. Only complaint is they are a bit noisy and rough, but what would u expect from these high performance tires. I recommend them.

These wheels weigh like 700 lbs each too, so now I'm really screwed. I guess I won't be going back to the track any time soon.


I hope I have the ***** to order them tomorrow. I'm gonna puss out. I just wish I could sell mine first. I really want these because they have the black inner part so I won't have to clean it on a daily basis.

This will be my 5th set in a one year timeframe. That's gotta be a record.

1. 19" ADR X Factor
2. Stock 17"s
3. Maxxim 18
4. RH C5 18
5. Ace Zeus 18

You're crazy. I'll only clean the inside when I rotate my wheels.

OMG thats just too funny, I swear though thats what Id do, I couldnt stand cleaning the whole inside of the wheel everyday. Seriously Id just let em go black on the inside and say screw it as long as what people see is clean who cares.

I have two sets of those tires. I really like them. I tried different ones...including some Yokohamas and these are just better in my opinion.
