nittos nt 555

STONER-X · Mar 24, 2009

whos got em do u like im starting to look at new tires for the X i figured i would go with these because the stock tires have a tread ware of 140 (nitto extreme drag is 100). these 555 are 300 and they have "good" reviews.

So how ya like them

thanks:top:

As far as I know...great tires!

My buddy Jeff got a set of staggered 19" wheels on his 2006 GTO, he had the rims wrapped in the 555's, and he has spoken very highly of them:top:. I've known him since 7th grade, and he drives hard like me...so I trust his judgment.

I got them on my X and they grip much better then the stock potenzas. I would recomend them to anybody. Go for it!

Are you on 20s? I have mine on stocks and I can pretty much haul ass in the rain with no issue?

dak-rt-2a-XR · Mar 26, 2009

yeah...

I spin tires in 1st 2nd and 3rd in the rain.

Me and Gary went sideways a good long distance the other day in my neighborhood when i was trying to show him what the charger could do...and it was wet.

Dry I have no problems.

VIPDreamin · Mar 26, 2009

Well i mean if you are hitting boost...lol not much any tire is gonna do in the rain:biggrin:

what did you not like about the tires? or are you trying to be the only person bring negative. haha

I'll be the black sheep here... I'm not too impressed with them.... granted, I have them on my 22's, but on dry pavement, if I accelerate hard, they will break loose and spin in second gear, and I've had handling problems with them... they like to push thru fast turns.... I'm not too impressed, but maybe they'd be better on 18s.... granted, these are 255/30s anyway. haha

Why take just few peeps word for it when you can get thousands of opinions here:

Unfortunately they don't rate the Nittos, but there are many new styles and models to choose from than a couple of years ago.
I will be going for the General Exclaim UHP tires when my Toyo Proxes ST are shot.
