Nitto 555R or MT ET Streets
Nitto 555R or MT ET Streets [IMG]
[/IMG]
im going to need some traction, for now im going to get some stickies for a set of firebird 16"x8" wheels i have. i am trying to decide on the Mickey Thompson ET Street or the Nitto 555r, need some opinions. the sizes are different. the nittos are only available in 245's for a 16" rim, i can get the MT's in a 255. which isn't that big of a difference. except for looks. im running 265's all the way around right now so that makes me a little insecure. what do yall think i should do?

Verdad Gallardo all i have seen in person is the nitto's. i can tell by your taste in the vehicles in your sig that we have similar taste so im sure i will be happy with the looks of the MT's.

what's shown above is the MT drag radial.... from what I've been told it's almost as sticky as the ET street.

If you are going to drive on the drag radials all the time go with the Nitto....yes the MT has better traction but are a little squirlly in the rain, The nittos have good wet traction while they have tread left.
As stated before MT for track duty...NITTOS for street duty.
