Default Nitto NT 555 D/R or EP's ???

I've got a 2002 T/A and am looking at getting new tires. No track driving, just daily driver, stock LS1 car, m6 tranny. An input would be greatly appreciated! Open to other tire recommendations too.

the nitto is about the best dd drag radial in my opinion they good good grip on the street and if you heat em up good they stick at the track.

I just put on some yoko's S-drives and they stick really well on dry but not so much on wet. But i do like them.

thanks for the info, I think I'll go with the NT 555 Extreme Performance. Going to be strictly street tires.

Very good choice. I just put on a set of 315's, they're a good street tire and I am hoping I can get a lot of miles out of them.
