The Nitto 555RII road race tire will wear out more quickly than its drag radial brother.

How is this so? Please explain becaue I was thinking about getting some of these soon. I'd thought for sure the D/R's would give up the ghost before the RII's. Are they both 200 treadwear?

Yes, whats up with that? I thought the RII's and the drag radials were pretty much the same, except the RII's had stiffer sidewalls. Why would they wear out more quickly?

By far, the best bang for the buck are Kuhmo's. Less than 100 per tire and they hook better than the gsc's that came on the car. 2.01 60 ft times, consistantly.
