The 555's are a proven tire so you cant go wrong with it, but from the few people ive seen that have used the nt05 have loved them more than the 555's. I would try the nt05s and let us know how they turn out.
i was considering those nitto nt's when i got tires but i read a bunch of reviews that basically said they were good if you wanted to show off and spin the wheels.. i went with some falken azenis and they are great.. 200 treadwear tho they dont last too long
Mustangman281( think people called him ox) had nt05's and he said they were the sex on the strip and in the rain... I have 275 and 315 555's, and I have traction all through first gear from a stop without launching. 315 555's are plenty traction for a bolt on gt, but I don't drag the car, so I'm not sure if they'd be great there.

correct there isn't a drag strip withing 50 miles of me, but i do need traction bad, these 315 sumis suck....
Honestly, I think you would be better off with the 315 555 d/r. They have plenty of traction for a n/a car, do great in the rain for a d/r, and have a great tread life if you don't track much. Oh and price is great.
