I have 255's on the front and 295's on the rear. They are a very hard compound and grip pretty well once warmed up a bit. On cool mornings they can feel a bit greasy at first. Ride is a bit hard with them on 18's. Wet traction is fair ,not great. Better tire for a warmer climate I would think. I'm not dissapointed but I'll probably try something else when these wear out. Hope this helps!

Shouldn't they be a soft compound?

Well, the tread wear rating is 300 on the 555's. The 555-R's have a treadwear of 100. Maybe your'e thinking of those.
