I am going to buy nitto tires for the summer. I live a little south of chicago and the tires will stay on from april to about november 1 depends on when it snows then the snow tires go on. I wasn't sure which to get. My camaro is a DD so it will see rain. I rarely go to the track. Basically just need a good tire for the occasional green light drag, that doesn't wear in 3k miles.

Next set of street tires I'm getting are Nitto NT555's, those are your best bet.

i want to get the nitto 555s but then i heard the 555r was better in the rain and tread that is where i wasn't sure what to get

The R does not stand for rain lol.

The normal 555s will be better all around for a street daily tire.
R is a softer compound, stickier, but will wear faster.

I just put on a set of 555s on my car, happy with them, haven't tried to launch or anything though, but what can you expect?

I DD the regular NT05's and I couldn't be happier with them! No problems in the rain either

I can not wait to get a set of 555's, I have some bootleg Avon Tyres that came with the car when I bought it

Ghost99

I know what ya mean lol I went from some shitty Cooper Tires that were on when I bought my car to NT05's and it was literally like I bought a new car afterwards.

BoricuaHec01

Ya I need them pretty bad now, I'm starting to tail whip without even going fast on turns, smh.

deceptionz99

looks like the nitto 555s it is. I have eagle f1's right now which are great in the rain but have absolutely no traction at all. I spin them when i launch at 2100 and i have a 3600 stall

BoricuaHec01

^ Buy me a set too (275/40/17), thanks.

Id opt for the NT05 over the 555 any day.

i want the invos but they dont make them in my size

Ghost99

Im with you...especially with a 3600 stall, id go with NT05r's or 555r's if you wanted a chance of hooking on the street. But if you don't want drag radials, the NT05 and the invos have far more grip than the regular 555's.

Slap whoever told you that.

BoricuaHec01

Damn, those Invo's are pretty NASTY but they don't come in my size either

I love my invo's. But,they don't come in 275/40/17... So if your running stock wheels I would grab a set of nt05's.
