Right here

Treadwear- Pretty good, about 4000 miles on them so far and look brand new still.

Durability- Good as well, I have to make hard left turns at a near stop to get in my garage and there is no flat spots or chunking.

Sidewall- I have 20's so they're pretty short. Flush against the rim with no problems. Little rubber "things" still hanging off them.

Overall, a good tire. Once they're shot, I'll be replacing them with the same. I like the way they grip the road, nice and wide. I like the looks
of them as well, tread pattern and wheel well space.

They drive good in rain too. (Don't know about snow though lol [ )

+1 with 05blackpony,

Mine have about 10,600 on em, about a year and a half old. Same results. Very sticky on the *** end as well. Really have to try if your after spinning em, but then again, the 20's don't help with that either....

How are they working out at the track for you guys? Has anybody ran times on stock rubber and then on the 555's? If so, how much did your ET's improve?
