Guys with Nitto 555r's Hey I was just wondering what do you guys typically see as far as mileage goes with these on the rear and being rotated every other oil change. Im probably going to be getting a set soon and I know they will suck in the rain but my bald streets can't be any worse anyways. Basically how many miles can I expect to see out of them with maybe 15 track passes and the rest street driving with no burnouts on the street? I know this is a hard specific question but just toss me advice since I don't know what Dr's get. Oh and I realize the M/T's hook better but I am looking for a milder DR since I'm and m6 and on my stock ten bolt. I've seen guys cut 1.6's on these with good clutch work to. Thanks a ton...

ive got 9,800 miles on mine and had to order a new set today.. no actual "track" passes but lots of street passes & fun. rears have no center tread left but some side tread, maybe 1/8th inch deep near edges. they hooked pretty good for me on the street, with a longish burnout they hook really good.

tip: know what your talking about before you put it on the internet
are you putting drag radials on all four? or just the rears?
that would be pretty dumb to rotate your DRs to the front, just get some sticky street tires since thats really all the nittos are.

This makes me laugh as much as some of the guys saying that directional tires are made like some are made for the left side only and the right side only. Don't get me wrong because I understand that some have an inside and outside but I see guys saying like tires like Nitto Directionals have a left and a right. I've done tirework for 3 years now and its just funny. But wow looks like only 10k is the average. Maybe I should just get streets all the way around and just keep 2 Nittos to mount up whenever I hit the track. I have free access to tire machines so it's like a 20 min job to swap them and not a big deal to me.
i was laughing at that too
i went the same route your considering, picked up some old painted ZR1s for 50 bucks and just throw em on whenever i head to the track
