With my new gear swap traction is a big issue now. I'm currently running Kuhmo ecsta 245/50/16 On stock rims (they are cheap) And Sumitomo HTR+ on my 18's. I am looking into Nitto 555 for my 16's and possibly my 18's. Is there really much to gain at the track with the Nitto 555. If so how much?

OK, nobody running Nitto 555. I How much will they drop wy 60' times?

I ran them a few times at the track. Not exactly sure how they improved my times as I had made a few other mods along with them. They did hook pretty good.

I'm getting them for this season. But I don't know exactly how much they will help. I have been told .1-.2.

Hard question to answer because it all depends what your 60's are now. My car typically runs 3-4 tenths quicker buy going from 1.80s at street night to 1.60s at TNTs.

I ran with the 3.73's now and cut a best 2.0 60 foot If I I nail it the tire go up in smoke. I let my buddy take it down the strip he ran a 15.2. I ran it and consistanly ran 13.4 hit 13.38 once. My mods are not too significant so is there much too gain.

The Nitto 555R is better than the 2 cheap tires you mentioned (unless the Ectsa is the MX which I hear is pretty decent). Just make sure it is the R type. The other regular Nitto 555's are plain jane tires. Only the R is the soft and sticky one.
