Default Nitto NT555. Anything good to say

Just purchased Nittos and after reading all the reviews on them not many people have good things to say about them.

Can anyone who had these tires post their reviews of the tire.

I am personally running the nitto 555 tires and love them. They stick very good in hard turns, in the rain, dry, cold...

Not bad at all for a daily driven tire.

I'll be recieving my NT05's next week hopefully. Right now I'm running Nitto drag radials on the rear and they grip amazing it's just that they don't last. My dad's got the 555's and they seem to be just fine for him.

I have them and I can still lose traction at 40mph if I get on it, but they are definitely better than stock on dry pavement.

I ran Nitto 555's on my car with the first set of wheels I had and I was absolutely happy with them and would have bought them again, but they didn't make the size tire that I wanted on the rear, so I went with Toyo Proxe 4's.

Are they the same size as the stock tires or larger.

The size is 255/50R17 (compared to 235/55R17 stock).

They are 27.03 inches overall diameter (compared to 27.17 inches stock) and 10.03 inches wide (compared to 9.25 inches stock)

So nearly the same diameter and just over 3/4 inches wider than stock.
