Most people go with the 555s up front to match with the 555Rs.

555Rs are supposed to be cheaper than 555s. At least they were when I ordered my set a year ago, I paid $600 even for 2 555s and 2 555Rs 275/40/17.

Yeah, but for me they were almost the same price because the rears are larger. Someone going with a setup like me (which is a lot of people) should expect to pay around the same for all four.

Yeah, well now that the drive between one house and the other is 3 hours (f'n speeding cameras every few miles) I swapped to 555s in the back too. I dont know why I didnt go with 11s in the back when I purchased rims and tires, wasnt about the money or anything just... I dont know why
