their good, bfg's are better but dont last nearly as long, either way youll get better traction than normal tires.

I have them... at the track they needed to be heated up to be at the full effectiveness. They are pretty good on wear for a drag radial. I just swapped mine out back for my eagle F1's last week... needless to say i cant get tracking till about 65 in the cold F1's.

At the track with the nittos my best 60' was 1.79 followed by a lot of times from 1.82-1.95. However i've seen lots of people with 2.1's with them as well so... depends on how you heat them up and the driving.

Absolutely love my 555Rs. Not a bad thing to say about them. I get very little wheel spin with mine. They helped me beat my buddy's 1987 Corvette if that tells you anything. He spun, i didnt, i took him in a 1/4. They're great for autocross aswell, mine worked really well at Tire Rack one weekend.
