Default nt-01 or nitto 555R

I currently have Nitto 555R 275/40/17 on my stock rear wheels. I recently bought a set of TTM's that are 10.5" on the back and am planning to run 315/35/17.

I need a good tire for the street, the car will be putting down somewhere around 650 rwhp so a normal street tire is out of the question. I didn't mind the 555R's although they didn't perform so hot at the track. I know the nt-01 is more of a road tire with a stiffer sidewall.

My question is, what's the tread life on the nt-01? How many miles can I get out of them?

Id take the nitto nt-01 over the 555r but only cause of the fact that It would be a "true" 315 if you wanna call it that > the 555r that will be real skinny in comparison.

Welcome to the TTM club. Don't know about those tires. I'd prolly stick with the 555Rs. But what do I know.

Yeah, the difference between the two is .4" in width. Not too concerned about that, I just want the stickiest tire I can get out on the road.

Thanks, I can't wait to see how they look on the car.

Anyone else have experience going from the 555R to nt-01?
