Yeah, I got them all the way around, I bought them 1 week before KC2000, I could leave with as much boost as the brakes could hold 6-7 lbs, and I couldnt even bark the tires, they hook great, but dont last that long, 10,000 or so miles, I was hopeing for more considering I cant do a long smokeing burnout, but they hook good, and handled well.

Did you use them as your everyday tires? How do they handle NOT at the track? How about in wet weather? they are pretty soft, do you get a softer feeling ride? What size wheels were you using?

I used them on my Syclone, best 60 was 1.62, consistent high 1.6s/low 1.7s, as long as track was well prepped. They are a bit inconsistent otherwise. Most people put 'em at low tire pressures to run them, which usually makes the truck get a bit squirrely at about 60' feet out. Take a look at my runs and Peter's runs. Hoover's truck leaves straight, as he uses 17s with BFG DR's, with more tire pressure than the NItto's.

Yeah, I have them as my everyday tires, good smooth ride, quiet, they are very soft, good in the rain at first, now the center is smooth, from wear, so I dont think they would be great on wet pavement, they wear pretty quick, I have the stock wheels I think the tires are 245 50 16 or something like that, they are a good racing tire, but wont last long as an everyday tire, I have put 30+ thousand on my sy in a years time,

my 2 cents worth

I have the 555r's on all four
really like em except when it comes to
autocrossing or canyon racing,
The side walls are to soft so you get alot more swaying going on, specailly when theyre hot.
Strait line and braking they are great, they also pick alot of crap up,gravel etc
being so soft
