what kind of driving are you planning on doing

the 01 is a road course tire
the 555 is a street tire
the 555r is a drag tire
the 555rr is a road race tire.

dunno anything about the 05

I have the 555r's, good tires, decent traction on the street. They're about shot but I got about 12k miles out of them so good deal I think. I wouldn't get the R's if you want any mileage out of em.
