Best place? Where is the cheapest place to buy some Nitto 555r's from? I found an eBay store that sells them for $142/tire with free shipping, so I think it's going to be hard to beat that, but anybody know of anywhere better? Thanks 
I'm looking forward to being able to use 1st gear again... haha.
Edit: Oh, and I have a question about the tires themselves. What's the difference between the 555R and 555RII Road Race tires? Would one be better than the other for me to get? Thanks again.

This place on ebay is called discount tire direct and has a normal price of 149/tire, on sale right now for 141/tire i think. Is that the same place maybe? Either way i think I'm going to order them. Seems hard to beat that price and they have great feedback to so i should be ok there.

Why does it say the speed rating is R in one place, and then it says it's V in another place? Are all 555Rs Vs? I would assume so because it would seem silly to have a tire that is designed to be good at the strip too only go to 106mph or whatever R is.

That sounds good. What's the deal with the R speed rating?? I just looked on discount tire's website and it says "Speed Rating: R". That's 106mph, how can that be possible? I go faster than that in the 1/4 and quite a bit faster than that every once in a while on a highway...
