hmmm... new 315/35R17 tires available soon...
After owning two sets of Nitto 555R tires (245's) on my daily driver (~20 000 miles/year) I was convinced that my new ZR1 rims needed to have a set on there.
I have four 17x9.5 rims and two 17x11 rims. The 17x11 are too wide to really use in the rain/monsoon season we get each winter, hense the need/want for 2 extra wheels, but the 315's get slapped on in the summer. That being the case, I've been hoping for 555R's... only $203/each through discounttire.com (for a 315 that's cheap!)
So what's my point?
Guess what size Nitto has on the list for the next 555R-II?
Yep, I got email from them saying that:
It pays to ask!
My 285's will have to do until then.

That model and size is slated for release in 4th quarter 2003, or maybe sooner

No, Nitto made the announcement a few months ago now. Last I heard they were due out around the end of this summer. It sounds like they may be creeping on that a little based on Steve's email.
Nitto does have a 315 R, but not R2 right now.
