Question Nitro 555r's 245/50/16's... Much better than Kumho's??

I am considering them in the 245/50/16 size, but my rear end is welded (spool) so I worry they would wear even faster since the outside tire gets dragged on turns. But mine isn't a DD either so if I got 5k out of them with some strip action and if they hook better than my 245/50/16 Kumho AST's, I'll be happy.

Thoughts?

Default

go for it. i went from kumhos to the same size 555r's. it was a huge difference in traction and they have lasted at least 12k for me and still have some tread left. i wasn't spool'd but they still should last a good while for ya.
