Default nitto 555r

what experience have you guys had with the nitto 555r tires? Do they really hook up anything like a slick???? What if the road gets wet, do they drive ok?????

I am running 305/45 Nitto 555R Extreme DRs and love em. No problems on wet pavement. Hell, probably better on wet roads than the stock Pirellis were.

Are they anything like a slick? No. Two different animals. Are they sticky? Yes. I can launch at 3k and not spin, and that is with 485hp to the wheels ( and suspension mods ).

What wheels are you running with those Hawgman? Any clearance issues?

Thanks!

Those are good but the Mickey Thompson DR's are the best. My friend had the nittos and we swapped at the track and he says the samething now and won't by nitto again.
