Need new tires - Thinking Nitto 555R Drag radials

I've got a '99 Z28 6 Spd that I only pleasure drive about 2000-3000 miles per year, only on dry roads, and it's garaged all other times. I want to start running some pleasure-only runs at the local 1/4 mile and would like a tire that will perform there.

I'm looking at these tires because they look like an excelent drag/dry pavement tire for the money. I know they've only got a ~15k mile life expectancy but with the mileage I realistically drive this car, that will be 5+ years.

I really like the looks of the GS-D3 but can't justify the cost for a little extra wet traction and tread life, neither of which I really need.

Does anyone have these tires that can tell me more about them?

Thanks for any and all input

ive had them for 3 years and i launched my car many times with burnouts often, allthough i am an a4 and dident have a stall converter at the time, they are good tires for light to medium mods, but once i put the new motor and rear with 3:91 gears, they werent enough and are just as bad as a regular street tire.

All I have is a catback & intake and am only planning on some long tubes and maybe a cam down the road, so you would think that with those mods I'd satisfied with them?

Also, I also forgot to mention, if an Autocross opens up here I will probably want to run in it... will these tires work OK in Autocross conditions too or should I look at something like the RII or something else?

Thanks!

Thanks for the input.

Anyone else?
