Same here. Its just a temp issue OP..

About DRs, I would not run em unless youre over 600rwhp IMO, unless youre going often to the track or a dig maniac...But they feel really dangerous to me in rain(I dont usually drive my car in the rain, but when youre on trip, you cant control the weather )

I'm running 315/35 555R's with 467rwhp 418rwtq and they dont hook very well. It was in the 60's-70's and it was bounce off the limiter spin crazy. anything above 45-50 mph isnt bad. I have run both the 555R's and M/T ET streets and the M/T hooks WAY better but last about half as long. I've got about 10k on my 555R with very few passes but the centers are about done...bald as hell.

Well i have close to 10k on mine now. And they are lasting well. Ive dropped them to about 20lbs and the center isnt showing much wear at all yet. But i have 0 passes on them and they wont be seeing the track since i may be purchasing some weld racestars
