Default Steam roller install today

With the E.T streets at the end of their service life, I put some new shoes on her feet today. Thought I might give the new Nitto 555G2's a try. And so far,I will say they are decent so far. After I had them installed, on the way home I rolled on it in first and it left what looked to be about two 60 ft stripes behind me. But that was only at 11psi. Kinda on the fence right now. Will see how things are once they have some miles on them. NOW as far as how they look......they are SEXY to me! 315 35 r17s look really good on these 4th gens.

I just had a set of G2's installed last week in 315's as well. Kinda curious how good they will wear, traction is what I expected from a street tire. Way more predictable than the DR's I had on it before, lol.

These are just the newer version of the normal NT 555, so they are just a regular street tire. Id be careful at the track with these if you have a lot of power.
