Default pics of my new nitto 555's, 285's and 275's
Nitto 555 zr's, street tires. 275/40/17 up front and 285/40/17 in back. Hook very well now in 1rst gear roll punches, used to blister my old firestone firehawks... Very happy with them so far.

I'm glad you posted this because I'd like to run the same sizes. Are you running 17x9 all the way around? I'd like to do the same set up 17x9.5 on the front and 17x10 on the rear.

Those tires are virtually the same size. I really don't see the point in staggering for such a minuscule size difference.

I thought of it, but rim size limits me at this time... 9" rim

Actually doesn't do too bad at all, has a lot to do with alignment...

Good to hear, I'm ready to trash my old BFGs that tramline like a **** for some new 555s. If that doesn't fix it then I'll have the alignment looked at.
