Nitto 555R II's? Anyone have any info on the new tires from nitto?
They are on www.discounttiredirect.com for $155.
I would think these would be better then the "first Gen" nitto.

Re: Nitto 555R II's? No one here is likely to know what those are.
They are not slicks, cams or firesuits.
They are AutoX tires. Sidewalls will probably be stiffer. Don't get them unless you like wheelhop.
I'll evaluate them soon, and give both AutoX and Drag results, although it is expected that drag performance will degrade.

Re: Nitto 555R II's? These are so new, even Nitto is not sure what to say about them. They are hoping they'll give better traction with longer mileage.

Re: Nitto 555R II's? Yes they are Autocross tires.
Nitto has said so themselves.
Don't get 'em if you are looking for drag racing tires. Sidewalls are just too stiff and won't give ANY flex at all.
Stick with the Nitto 555R's.
