The nitto 555 was the other choice I was looking into when I was looking to update. I went with BF Goorich G-Force instead, but the nitto's were 2nd choice

I have the 555R up front and the 555R drag raidals out back, and I have no complaints.

The fronts obviously don't get smoked off, but they have lasted at least 14K with no problems and little sign of wear. For a performance tire they seem very streetable with good wear.

If you can afford to swap out tires every 10K or so get drag radials on the back!
