When my buddies boosted Camaro was around 650rwhp with 15" racestars and nitto 555r's, he would literally smoke the tires on 60 rolls if he brake boosted. He runs et streets now and they do better, but not quite enough with his added power now.

I liked my 555r for what they were. They took me to 11.0 in a stick car.

I like the 555 on my stock wheels. They do decent on the street and for traction and handle really well. They've got a stiff sidewall and are very predictable.

These damn tires didn't hook for ****. Ran consistent 2.3-2.4 60' and 12.8's at 117 @ 105 degree track temps. I wasn't impressed whatsoever

You could always switch to an NT05R which is a much better drag radial than a 555r.

I ran 12.1 @ 112 with 1.6 60' on 555r. They are a good tire. Nothing compared to the NT05R though. I have a set NT05Rs and put way more power to them and they still do well.

Good ET man! If you got a 12.1 @ 112, I should be able to run 11's if I'm trapping 117 with 105 degree track temps?

You'd be amazed what even bringing your 2.3-2.4 60' down to a "good" 1.9 - 2.0 for a street tire would do for your 1/4 ET.

Cut a 1.7 like you easily should and you're easily 11's.

Agreed. ET is made in the 60 for sure. Get that car to hook and you'll be moving.

1.5s are pretty good, what's your best 60 so far?
