I'll be ordering some drag radials for my car soon, but in the mean time my street tires are killing me. I run a 13:30 @ 112 with 60ft around 2.2 with tons of tire spin. I have some 245/40/18 nitto 555 tires on a project car that has been sitting in my garage for a few years now.
Would the 555 tires help with my traction problems until I can get some new drag radials or slicks? The season is almost to an end here and I would like to go out one more time, but the spinning is starting to take the fun out of it.
Thanks

I've gone a couple times to the strip on my street tires (which are nitto555), its pretty pointless.
Me too ^^^ I went last weekend with my 555 street tires and I was still spinning my tires and making smoke at least 70-80 ft from the tree. I took it easier after that out of the hole but all my times suffered.
I love them for streets but next season I will be running drag radials or stayin home.
555R are not to bad.... but if its a track only tire... MTs or M&H DRs are much better
