Under what driving conditions? If dry roads, get the ones that have the worst tread wear rating, That compound is the softest and they will indeed stick to the road. Probably won't last 10,000 miles but you just said you wanted to stick, not last too long.

I dont know about brian, but my NT555s are pretty nice. Im not saying they are perfect, but they stick well for me, especially on my 20s. I used to run Goodyear Eagle F1s on my Lightning and those were amazing.

I'm surprised at this! Everything I hear and read says the Nitto 555s are excellent. Matter of fact I'm in the process of buying some.

Well we need to remember Brian is putting down almost 500 ft/lbs. of torque, so his experience will be very different than most people on here, lol...
