nitto 555's

not the drag radial but the normal 555's

 

Please don't...

There are plenty of other brands with equal or better performance for much less $$$.

 

what would you sugest?

 

I have Nitto 555 Extreme's up front and Drag Radials out back and couldn' t be happier with the ride and handling. The car just spun at all RPM's before but not now.

 

I think something with the same ratings as the good year ultras would be good. I was going to bring up the fact that you are partially paying for the name with goodyears.

 

how much for the Nitto's and where to order from? once again thanx for all the help. i tried this thread on mustangworld also and got nothing.

 

Refer to my previous post for my suggestions. Other guys have given good alternatives, too.

Just like 99blackSS said, you are paying too much for the name. Just like with Michelin's.

 

I think the nitto 555s are a good suggestion, assuming they are cheaper then good years. I don't know where to get them though, tirerack.com doesn't carry them.

You went to a Mustang board?! TRADER

 

yeah i checked tire rack..........look tires are tires, on a mustang or on an F-body they do the same thing. any help is appreciated. especialy yours since they wouldn't answer.

 

I normally get my Nitto's from www.discounttire.com or www.discounttiredirect.com.

I just got the last set from performance wheel outlet. I paid $122 apiece for the fronts (Nitto 555 Extreme) and $160 apiece for the Nitto Extreme Drag Radials. Keep in mind, I have a WS-6 and the price was for 17 inch tires.

I really needed a tire so I could hook the car during daily driving. I wanted to get a tire that looked similar to the rears and the Normal Nitto 555's have a similar tread patern/sidewall. I didn't expect to get the handling out of them that I got. Pleasantly surprised. The DR is a pretty stable tire even with a sidewall that is lacking as long as you keep normal pressure in them. I like to run 35lbs. in all four for normal driving and 17 in the back at the track.

 

wow looks like a pretty good price. only porblem is shipping to hawaii. i think i'm gonna try and check the local dealer to see how their prices compare once shiping is a factor. thanx once again for all the help!

 

Yeah, but few Mustangs have to hook up as much power as a LS1.

 

not to mention the torque of a 350 versus a 281. but still yet it is the closest comparison and i ws hoping they might be able to help. turns out they are worthless.

 

 

Steve,
Actually, Discount Tires Direct (DTD) has cheaper prices than TireRack, and the shipping is free (not sure about Hawaii & Alaska though). I got BFG G-Force T/A KDWS' (stock size: 245/50X16's) for $117 each.
