Ok just posting for opinions. more fun than anything. Obviously i want both but at the moment will only have money for one or the other. I know which one im leaning towards!!!

i think the nt555's are garbage but thats me. the svede is a good cai smart choice there. so idk if you were dead set on one of those i would go with the svede over the tires unless you decided to pick a better set of tires lol

For what?

Drag racing?

I was decided on the svede actually but ive had nittos many times in the past and they have always been great in my opinion. Good performnace with good treadwear. Everybodys different though i guess in terms of what they like. Im actually getting these for street use. Dont have a track where i live and dont get to the track that often so slicks are really not important to me.

i miss my nittos on my GTO. it greatly reduced wheelhop though i never tried a serious launch but they served their purpose.

I got some nittos on mine NTO05R, they hook up good for me,but I am switching to M/T drags. Good luck on your choice.

I had nt555r before and spun the crap out of them idk for a mild car they will be fine

thx. yeah i dont want to spend mickey money since my cars just a dd. I will get more aggressive with it. I have plans for full boltons and hopefully a cam. Low 12's is the goal. Thats about as much as i really will do with it while its my daily driver. Once its paid off then who knows

My suggestion is to look for a pair of used rims and mount sticky tires on those and only use that set-up for the track.

silver04goat

I would do that and have done it in the past. For me though its honestly not worth it. We dont have a track where I live and I dont get to the tracks often at all. Maybe once or twice a year if that. If they opened up a track where I lived I would do that for sure

gmantheman

In that case I would just stick with street radials unless your car is not a d/d.

I've had the 555's and have the NT05's now. I hated the 555's. The NT05 are, meh. IMO, I would get the intake.

Buy the svede and smile.

You don't track your car and it's a dd? No brainer SVEDE!!

Nittos. Unless you like having that much money tied up for months on end waiting for a Svede. Personally Id make a Vararam work on your 04 like Im going to

Nitto's are useless. At least with the svede you will get something out of it.

Or nto1.. or both..

The non drag radial 555s are good street tires for a d/d.

With my bolt-on/tune A4 LS2, the 555's would melt away from a low speed roll, and spin so bad through the 1-2 shift that the back end would get sideways and I would have to lett off the gas. I guess if your just driving it like a Camry, then yeah they would probably be o.k. To me, they where dangerous if applying any good amount of throttle.

what about a vararam intake? I heard the SS intake is on like 2-3 month wait now or something
