Default Anyone use the Nitto 555 315 tire?

Just as the title says anyone use this tire.
** Note this is NOT the drag radial tire* This is the regular street tire. Im not sure how long its been out but my dad ordered these instead of the GSD3's. Just looking for any experiences. Thanks.

Traction wise or just overall ride?

It was a better tire in traction. Overall ride???

I don't know I would have to say the GY were a bit harder over the bumps

but not enough to really say it was worst over the Nitto

Let's put it this way. If money was not a factor I would get the GY's

I don't think they were too bad of a tire. My friend has them on his TA and they wear pretty good. THey are a lot wider than the Drag Radials for sure too.
