From what I've heard, they're better than NT555s.

but that's just a couple of people's experiences here.

Im on my 2nd set of these. First set lasted 40k probably longer but found a good deal on new ones and bought a new set. Wet traction is very good and dry traction is ok at the track(times in sig).
