Nitto 555 too much wheel spin :(
I just bought a pair of NT 555's for my 2000 camaro ss M6
tire specs are 275/45/17
i mounted them on the stock camaro SS 17" wheels
i dont know why but i just cant race with first gear
the car spins too much
my modz are heads/cam/boltons 424 whp
i want to street race at 20 mile rolling race and i cant
i must be in 2Nd gear and 45 miles + rolling races so i can avoid crashing from too much wheel spin.
whats the problem? the tires are brand new
does it have to do with the pressure of the air in the tires?
i have mine at 25 psi
should i lower it? and would i be able to drive it everyday if its below 25 psi?
thanks

Did you get the R version? You really need an ET Street Radial to hook from that low of mph. Take a look at this:

i used to have 555 R but one tire blew up on me while i was driving
i needed a tire fast so i only found the 555 here in kuwait
they are expensive when shipped here
the shipping is a pain

Yep that's racing. Spending money I don't have, on parts that I don't need, to impress people I don't know. Didnt you guys get a 1500KD gift from your president? not so long ago? that's around 5300$ btw...

the 315 555R drag radial runs a little narrow but it is still not really that safe to put on a 9.5 tire. almost all the other nittos do not run narrow like that.
for comparrison look up the 555 and the 555 R in the same 315/35/17 sizes the 555 is about 12.6 tread witdth and the 555R is like 12.2 or something like that.
