Default Nitto NT555

Has anyone used the Nitto NT555 tires...if so what was your opinion of them. I am curious as to how they handle and perform in the dry and the wet.
How do they wear?

The street tire 555 is awsome, about the only tire I run and a lot of guys around here love them..the 555r (drag radial) are ok for lower hp cars and have more tread depth I think than most so they are a little more friendly if you get caught in the rain, I think the 555s are awsome looking and work even better..
