So I have 315 sumitomo's on my car now, that didn't hook very good on the stock stall. Im wondering if some 275 nitto 555r drag radials will get me hooking right up off the line?

Here is a vid for reverence

how much do you drive it on the street? unless its on the street a lot, i'd get something a little stickier. m/t's or bfg's

Its a dd. It is 99% street and 1% track, but I do alot of messing around on the street and I heard this was a good tire to hook on the street and lasts awhile.

I love my nittos but you have to heat them up to really hook.

IMHO and from what luck friends of mine have had with 555R's is they generally suck for any kind of traction at the strip. They are marginally better than a street tire and they run narrow in their appearance.

I really think the BFG drags would fit your needs better than a Nitto. Now those are badass tires!

Yeah, spinning all the way through first with an auto....like I said, they suck.



I've cut a 1.8 back in the day with BFG's on a 35 series 18" wheel, stock weight 6 speed and 3.42's.

I went 2 seasons on them with big smokey burnouts and daily driving. I still have them in the garage with lots of life in 'em still. Great tires!

They helped me a lot, still won't dead hook but they would stick at least twice as good as any street tire.

At the track I cut 1.78 60ft launching as hard as I could and spinning just a hair as a result. I doubt even with full slicks I could have got any better than 1.69.

Mine were 275/50/r15. Lasted around 15000 miles and I took them off because the middle was worn enough they were dangerous in wet weather. I could still use them at the track another 2-3 trips I think...if they haven't gotten too hard from sitting.

I love mine once again. I have cut 1.42 at the track on 275 555r's

I have 555r's and they are great. At the track you gotta heat them up good.

This is for my street tire. And I want to get atleast 10,000 miles out of the tires. So those are not really an option

I am running my DD Bolt-on car right now with 275 MT's and never have a problem and they show no real signs of fast wear. The next set of tires I am planning to get, since I have heard from so many people and big name people on these forms are these:


I heard "TRUST" on these Fourms had them on his 800+HP WS6 with I think a 315 size Toyo and he said they held up really good. They say they last almost longer then a Nitto and are nearly as sticky as a MT. I would Search the fourms on here for more info.
