Default NITTO NT 555 EXTREME.....need some feedback

The eagle f1 gsd3 were back ordered so i went with the nitto 555's. This tire hook pretty good off the line for a street tire? Or any other feedback would be great!

I've ran those on the front of my Formula for over 2 years. Great tires. Awesome tread wear.

Anything would be an improvement over the tires I have now. They have a ton of tread left and they will break loose at 30 so bad it ridiculous! Im hoping these will help off the line a little bit.

totally stock A4 2.73 camaro 00'. i would lay 40 feet of black with yokohama a-509 (160-AA-A) which are more expensive than the nitto's i got today. After putting on the TSP lid,filtercharger, !cai, and hook catback's, it is not possible to bark,chirp, whatever. There's just no comparison. The yokahama's were like $163 each and the nittos were $149 (each installed).

Need a stall, i can't even make these things light up..

My car is putting down 364 rwhp and 375 rwtq and a set of 285/35/18 Nitto 555's hold it pretty well for the most part. I have full rear suspension also though. I have to try to break them loose in first and they hook back up pretty quick. Excellant tires! I'm very impressed with how well they hold, especially for 18's!
