How are these tires on the drag strip? They are supoposed to have a stiffer sidewall but the same compound as the drag radials?

i have 245/50 16 nitto drag radials on my bolt on z28 and they hook decent but definetly not as well as mickys, but i bought the nittos because they were a tire I can drive on every day rain or shine and get better wear out than the mickys

Nitto 555R's are the ones designed for the drag strip. The 555RII's are the ones with the stiffer sidewall made for Auto-X. Their compounds are the same, and both 555R's suck, so you'll be good either way, lol.

damn i was gunna get those when i get my new wheels cause they come in a 305, then what would u recommend for a street/strip tire on a 18x10.5 wheel?

The Nitto's are a good choice if you want to take your daily driver car to the strip every once in awhile and not have to change tires all the time. For a more serious strip car, Micky Thompson's are the way to go. The Nitto's are the worst for traction out of the popular drag radials, but are the best when it comes to tread wear. I personally went with the Nitto's due to the fact that my car is daily driven. They do hook better than almost any street tire you will find.

Nittos work fine if you get them hot enough. I have a pic somewhere of my car pulling both front wheels on 275/60/15 555Rs at a shitty track.

o ok, also a nitto 305 would fit on a 10.5" wide rim correct?

yes it will

i've even seen some 275s listed as fitting on 11" rims

the other choice would be a 315

Im going to have to go ahead and say my 245/45/16 Fuzion ZRI street tires hook harder than Nitto drag radials.

Ouch. A friend of mine snapped his driveshaft with 245/50-16 555Rs.. They hooked then that's for sure.

I'd love to do 315's but I don't want to do the modifications to get it to fit

I have 555Rs on my 18x10.5 vette wheels. they are 305/35/18 i believe. they may be
30s, i cant remember. They hook quite a bit better than street tires, but nothing to write home about. I think they work well to be street driven, with occasional track usage. As stated, more serious strip cars should look elsewhere. just my opinion.

^yeah but from what i've heard they will be the best buy for me since the car is still my dd and i don't go to the track all the time, also what's the smallest recommended tire width for a 10.5" wide wheel?

Guys thanks for the advice. I did buy the 555Rs because they were a great deal at $266 for new tires and good rims.

If your gonna get a drag radial go with mt. But if you have a decent rearend besides a 10 bolt lol get an et street or a slick especially if your a m6 car making any decent power.
