Default Nitto's

Do most of you that have them just race with them or use them for DD? I was gonna look into them but figured I would see what others thought about them.

friend of mine has a procharged GT with the 305-30-18 Nitto 555R's and he gets decent traction with them.. of course nothing like an actual drag radial which he also has.. but they are a very good tire for daily driving and also get much better than average traction

The 555r's are a drag radial, but they are generally known to be the worst hooking DR, they do last longer than the DR's on the market. So you have to ask yourself if you want the best tracktion or the longest tread life.

I really don't know, but the Nittos are a lot harder than the M/T and even the BFG
