I use them as FRONTS and they are nice.

The 555R's are the way to go out back for the street.

Well..I've had them now for less than I week and they are doing fine, but what a difference in the "feel" from 17" to 18"...a bit bumpier.I can't imagine what it would be from 17" to 20".

Excellent tires. Much higher quality than the stock BFGs.

Don't waste the tread at the track. They don't grip worth a crap when launching at the strip.

they held pretty good in the rain today, u just cant drive in the fast lane at all, one freaken water spot and that thing doesnt hold well, it actually starts to swerve because of those tires <-- thats the only major difference between that and the michellin tires (hold up pretty good in all weather) i had during the winter and early spring which was like winter here lol

Ditto - no Nitto does. I personally think the only 2 DR's worth a crap are the ET Streets and M&H

Ironically I had a different experience. On the BFG stockers I was worried driving 85+. Any amount of water accumulation and the car would feel "floaty". After installing the Nitto's, I can go 115+ and the car is solid. I've never had a problem with the car not holding at high speeds in the rain. Suspension probably has something to do with that as well...

true but mine are wide since i have 20inches on, so maybe that has something to do with it, because i can drive fast in the middle lanes but the side lanes, i cant go in them, the water just makes the car swerve around and not stay put, its so annoying with these tires and i have to remember that i have them on and not the bullets with the ice tires

I've got Nitto NT555s on my Marauder (255/45 front, 295/45 rear) and so far they seem great. Excellent traction and good wet performance. Couldn't be happier.
