After 10k spirited driving miles they still look like new. Performance wise I would consider them average at best. I can spin 285's way to easy and I consider these tires below average in the rain. *** end slides around. I got a great deal so I'm pleased but I will not purchase these again.

I told him that I've been reading that tires don't last long on the V's and he said that the Nt555's should be a great summer tire and still last 25k miles.

So I figured I would ask you guys if anyone has had experience with this tire.

Thank you,
