No offense intended here, but there are MUCH better tires available than the Nitto 555s, but we're happy that you're happy with the Nittos.

My friend bought a set of Nittos and loves them. I have hurd really good things about the Toyo T-1s. I think I would go with the Toyos when I get some rims.

No one's tried the Yoko's?

I love the Yokohama A032R's. They handle excellent! I didn't like the Nitto 555S but did like the 555R drags even though they didn't last long and you had to warm them up. The Toyo T1-S is a good rain/high performance tire.

The A032Rs are much too loud to use on the interstates. They sound like tractor tires! Hate them. They're not very good track tires either...not much faster than a new set of Yokohama AVS Intermediates shaved down to 4/32nds...I don't recommend the A032Rs. IME, they're just fast wearing UHP tires. If you want real track tires get Hoosier R3S03, and wipe the floor with the competition! If on a budget then get the Kumho V700s. Much faster the A032Rs, and certainly much quieter too (just like a regular road tire)....

Hoosier Racing Tire Warning--Hoosier Racing DOT Sports Car Radials are only intended for competition use on a closed road racing circuit. Hoosier DOT racing tires are not to be used on public roads. This is due to the R3S03's/A3S03's extremely lightweight construction. If you run over road debris, the Hoosier R3S03/A3S03 will most likely fail catastrophically! Ok--you've been warned!

I went from Comp TA ZR's, which were very (pun intended) competent, but I put on the Toyo Proxe T1-S's and I highly recommend them for the street.

I agree - you're smoking crack.&nbsp Unless you're talking about the NT-555R, which is their drag radial, and it's just the Toyo RA-1 semi-race tire in disguise.
