i have a M6 with 4.10's, i put new LCA in and still dont have good traction(street). i was looking to get the Nitto 555R and wanted to know how they were from you guys before i bought anything. this is mostly street use and the tire size is 315/35/17 so its a little wider. any other poepl with 4.10's/m6 run these? how is it on the road?

My dad has them. They arn't that great. M/T are far better for traction.

I hear at the track the dont hook well but on the street they hook good. I just want to be able to launch (any rpm) without spinning and chirp 2nd for once

i couldn't launch at any rpm on the street with my 555r's but i would side step the clutch at 3500 after just cleaning off the tires(no major burnout), the tires felt like they spun for 1 rotation and i was hooked and in my powerband which was all i needed to rape these fools with no drag radials on the street.

i ran these tires b/c i daily drove my car and was worried about driving in the rain with the tread patterns of the other drag radials. now that i don't have to daily drive my car i will going with something much stickier like a mickey or M&H.

you really need to watch the air psi in the rears to make sure you don't wear out the centers of the nitto 555r. i ran mine at like 22psi and only averaged about 9k miles out of them before they got too low for daily driving.
