About to pull the trigger on some NT555's
ANYTHING else other than 555s. lol Sorry just not a fan of em. Dont hook for crap for me! especially on street. Altho they probably do rank high on the life expetancy. They are the cheapest for a reason. I'm just tryin to burn mine down, so i have excuse to buy some different ones. M/T ETs if you can. or maybe the new Toyo and New Nitto DR 501. Haven't seen too many reviews on the 501 yet, but the Toyos seem to doing well.

I have the NT555s. I like them. They hook real good for me. I only have about 350 RWHP. I heard some talk on here that they're no good for 400+ cars.
I say get 'em if the price is right.

OP, i say get them.
they will hook on 400+ hp cars well enough if you lower the psi below 20 and do a big burnout- broke an axle with them launching at 3k and hooking 5 ft down the track snap. but did have lot of problems hooking before that, if i were to buy some new drs i would go another direction
Also, these tires are not made to "burnout". Roll those things over a few times and knock the dust off and they are ready. No need to blast em.

i have the nitto 555r's on my ls1 camaro ss and they hook up just fine if you know how to launch your car. i've tried several different brands of tires from bf goodrich to coopers and nittos are my fav. check out www.onlinetires.com i got mine at a really good deal.
goodluck man.

I have em on my car and they hook just right on on the jug with 540rwhp/580rwtq in 2nd gear on the streets. Get em!!
I might add that maybe some plp dont hook cause they run stiffer suspension and ****. I run on stock style suspension+some mods so its all good.
..they hook just fine N/A in 1st and I'm 407rwhp.
I had Avon Tech m500 and BF g-force street and they were as good but I prefer the 555 in the look departement.
Discount Tire is sponsor here and their price are sweet.
I had Mickeys in the past and they hooked pretty crazy, but I got caught in the rain and got scared. Plus they dont last. Depends what you want. I like to have some good cornering attributes, so Drag radials are not an option for me.

well i made some calls to some of my suppliers and they told me not to go with the nittos and BFG' s would better.
I was recomended Cooper Zion or A W rated Nexen Tire. any input?

I say BFG. BFGs are a very underrated tire around this forum. I have a pair of G-Force T/As and they hook up AMAZINGLY and have lasted two years and going strong.
