Default Need Some Advise!!!

Well the tires on my 01 ws6 are getting pretty worn out. I was thinking about getting some drag radials for the back obviously and a pair of new tires on the front. I can't decide on what kind of tires I should get and what size. I mean I have heard the the nittos hook pretty well on the street. Or should I just get 4 new tires and a pair of old rims and put some drag radials on them so I can swap them on when I plan to race. but the usually "unplaned street race" happens all the time lol.

Yeah the nitto 555s are awesome DD tires!!! I think they work well in the rain and even better on dry pavement! I would not try them in snow though.

just make sure you do the 555rs on the rear only, it would be a waste on the front.
