Go to your local tire store, and talk them down, there is something like a 100% mark up from local tire dealers, they will always shave a few bucks. ;)

I got my 555's from AM...

W/e 245/45/17 (2) and 315/35/17 (2) cost on their website minus the discount code is what i paid for em

I don't think the NT05's are drag radials until you put an 'R' behind the '5'.

At any rate, I don't want drag radials as I do not drag race. The 555's seem to be what I'm looking for out of a street tire. Longevity/performance. Although the 05's look pretty good. I'm looking to get 20k+ out of a set of tires.

I'll have to drop in to my local discount tire to see what they can do for me.

I will report.

Yea lizzy said it. I was thinking dragradial. Nt05r's are very good drag radials comparable to mickey Thompsons et streets. I have both tires and mt takes the cake but nitto isn't far behind. But your looking for street tires.... 555's it is...


And to the person that said the 100% markup. I know most shops in tampa area make nothing on a set of tires.. mount balance & alignment. Is where they make their cash 100% percent labor

You had nt05s all the way around? How did they compare to the 555s wet/dry/longevity?
