Default Nitto NT555

Has anyone used the Nitto NT555 tires...if so what was your opinion of them. I am curious as to how they handle and perform in the dry and the wet.
How do they wear?

The street tire 555 is awsome, about the only tire I run and a lot of guys around here love them..the 555r (drag radial) are ok for lower hp cars and have more tread depth I think than most so they are a little more friendly if you get caught in the rain, I think the 555s are awsome looking and work even better..

only tire i've had on mine... besides the stock goodyears... best tire for the price IMO... drop the pressure in them and they'll hook just as good as the 555r. awesome tire no doubt.. you will not be disappointed
