HELP NITTO 555r PICS PLEASE!!!
HELP NITTO 555r PICS PLEASE!!! Im planning on geting new tires over the winter and my friend at discount tire said he can get me nitto 555's cheap so that's what im planning. I was just wondering if anyone had pics of them on the stock 17in. t/a wheels because alot of people are saying they look thin and I don't want to have that retarded front tire looks fatter then the back tire look. Little help would be greatly appreciated or if you have any other suggestions on a better tire that'd be great too. THe cars a DD so wear and rain driving are a concern. Thnx alot
I have 275/40/17 Nitto 555's they are a great looking tire. Handle great in the rain and in the dry. No road noise and awesome tread life. Decent price as well. Sorry no pics. Best tires i've owned.
Nice! Would you happen to have any pics of those 305/35/ZR18, 555 Extremes from the immediate rear? I will be getting those next year and wanted to see the width from the direct rear of the car.

555R's are drag radials which hook better than the 555's but will wear a little faster than the Extreme 2R's.
The Extreme 2R's are also a drag radial that are made from a slightly different compound than the 555R's that are meant to REALLY hook up after you heat them up, but once they cool off, they go back to a harder longer lasting compound. Even if you don't beat on them all the time, they still won't last as long as the 555's though. The Extreme 2R's are also the most expensive tire out of all three naturally.

I might go ahead and get them considering I only put 8k on my car in 2 years....

555 say Extreme ZR, 555R say Extreme Drag, and the 555RII's say Extreme R.
and the 555R and 555RII are skinnier than the 555 in the 275/40/17 size (which is what I run.)
