Nitto 555's

I'm about to change my wheels and tires and I know other here have these tires but I thought I read complaints about ride and/or road noise with them.

Any comments from those who have them are appreciated, even some comparisons to other tires you've owned including our stock Pirellis. Thanks!!

RE: Nitto 555's

my ride is rough, but the tubular steel everything, the spotline springs, and the blown out shocks might have sooooomething to do with it.

I have Nitto 555s on mine. They're good tires, decent traction. Aside from that, you can google them and read plenty of reviews.

I also have installed the Nittos 555 on my car. They do ride a little rougher on the stock suspension. I have had them on less than a week & I already have a nail in one of the rear tirs. So off to the shop tomorrow to get it patched[sm=headbang.gif]

555's here as well. I personally contribute the rougher ride to the fact that mine are 20's. (Dealer install) I have noticed they seem to be
a bit noisy, especially if you are on the freeway that has those damn channeling grooves....

That being said, they hook up beautifully, seem to be wearing well, and look great. I too, have picked up a nail in two of em. I'm very leary
about taking it in, because of the rims.....

+1 Couldn't have said it any better! (For 20's that is)

The ride is a little louder, but nothing I would complain about.

Yep, isn't that why the auto volume on the radio is adjustable??;);)
