Default nitto 555 mileage

How many street driven miles are people typically getting from nittos?
Thanks

Around 15k on the 555R Drag Radials, or are you just talking about the 555? Not sure about the plain 555 street radials

I hope I can get 15K out of my DR's. I've heard getting 10K was about average.

plain radials if you dont burn them a lot get somewhere around 25,000 i think. a friend had them on his camaro and on the rears got like 12,000 miles because all he did was burn them. the fronts have 26,000 on them now and are still going. the drag radials are the same. dont do a lot of burnouts and the will last you 15K +. if you like to see smoke then count on about 10K out of them.

Where is a good place to find radials in a 315? the place Im looking at now doesnt have 'em. I wanted to go with the goodyear f1-d3's but theyre just too much right now and I need new tires, I just want something to last atleast a year and Ill get the goodyears next time.

I got mine from a wholesaler I do business with. I got them cheap because I work at a tire/wheel place. They said they had like 100 or so in their building. I paid 150 for them to my door.
