Not currently running them but have in the past. They are a solid all-around tire. Not the greatest off the line traction, but a good performer in all other aspects.

The tread wear is great. We dont do alot of burnouts, or take the cars to the track on em, but weve gotten a couple years out of each set, if a nail didnt change that. Ive been running them on a few different vehicles for years. i picked em up in 315/35-17 and it turns out the 555s came in about an inch wider than the 555R.

Ive got them, and Im very happy with them as a street tire. Havent been to the track yet. IMO, they do better in the rain than everyone says.

If your wheels are the same size all around then get the same tire size all around.
