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
