Default Need alittle more grip.

Has anyone ran the nitto 555rs. I am trying to find a tire that I can get alittle more traction with. When I grab second in my car it just goes crazy. I still have a stock 10-bolt but I am building a 9-inch. I want to go ahead and get a set of tires and I can run that will not break loose at high rpms or spin to bad when I shift.

I wont be launching hard or anything for awhile...Just mainly going from a roll or easing it off the line.

They work pretty good and ith your hp you shouldn't have any traction issues with them!

Hey I dont wanna thread jack, but didn't wanna make a new one either - OP would you recommend Nitto radials on a pretty much bolt on car? I'm lookin for tires that are gonna be track only but are mounted on 16" salad shooters.
