when my 555s wear out, i am considering their NT01 road racers for the rear. More of a slick pattern.

I have both. Eagle f1's on all 4's and a set of nitto's on seperate set of 03 cobras. They both blow in the winter. Dont waste your money on the f1's if they are winter tires.... not worht it at all, buy some cheapos.

No performance tire is going to be good in the winter. The cold will make them hard as a rock and they will not work very well. If you drive your Stang in the winter get some cheap steel rims and a decent set of all weather or snow tires, it will be a night and day differance. BTW a 555r is a drag ragial and you should not be running a dr in very cold weather.
EDIT* never mind I see you are in Vegas and don't have cold weather.
