How fast can I take my Nitto555R drag radials?
Recently caught a flat in my Pzeros, so i been riding around
with my Nitto555R Drag radials on my stock rims.
I see the speed rating for the tires are a R rating.
Toying around with a Integra today I found myself going
130+. Wondering if these tires can hold up at speeds.
thanks

Are you sure the R is the speed rating and not the radial designation?
An R speed rating is only 106 mph. Obviously, they can handle higher speeds than that, being a drag tire. However, they may not be built for sustained high speed running.

Depending on the size, your 555Rs have a V (149 mph) or Y (186 mph) speed rating.
