Default Nittos are amazing

just put on my 315/35 Nitto 555 R's on my deep dish rims and it looks awesome. with the huge lip and the fat tire. i have 4.10 gears and was spinning badly with the 245/45's and once i put these on i had little to no spin. i didn't even heat them up and they have less than 20 miles on them now. definitely worth getting for better times especially if you go to the track alot or like to race from a dig. also they fit perfectly. they don't come out the side or anything. i think im in love[sm=drlove.gif]

They will work even better once they are broken in, and scuffed up a bit
Just be VERY careful in the rain....and VERY VERY careful if it's a cold rain

I put the 315 KD from BFG. BLUE70 right, be careful in the rain. I can spin them w/ no effort. You'de think the opposite w/ a bigger tire. The deepdish sure look badass though.
They hook.

Wider tires tend to 'float' on the water. Ever seen a snow plow w/ 315's? Nope, there's a reason.

yeah i don't drive far in the rain unless its within a 10-15 minute distance.

i was also wondering before i tried it how do they work for handling? does it decrease or increase. i am just wondering for when i hop on the highway for i should take it real easy on the on/offramps etc. thanks.
