I have the 555R drag radials on the rear and the 555's on the front. The 555 is a road race tire and is a different compound than the DR's. I don't think I would put the drag radials on the front.

the 555R is the drag radial which is a good tire and pretty good life.
the 555r II id the road race tire. i haven used them cause well i have no intentions of road racing but have heard great things about them from the guys that do road race.
imo why not just run the 555r (drag radial) in the rear and a set of kuhmos or something less expensive up front....save you a little cash... but thats all on you and how **** you are about having all your tires the same brand and stuff.
i was running nt555R's in the rear and kuhmos up front and had 0 problems. great traction.
follow the advice above about the rain.
drag radial + rain = traction no bueno
