I'm wanting to get some new nitto tires, and they will be used on the stock salad shooters. Looks like i'll either be getting the NT 555 or the NT 450. seems as though the stock size (245/50/16) doesn't come on the 555, but i found a set that "says" that size, and the 450, I know, comes in that size, but the 555 is cheaper.
Is there really much of a difference between the two? the only i can fins is that the 555 is Z rated, and the 450 is V rated. And the fact I won't be taking it to the track, and I don't usually do 150...fastest i've done is only 135...the V rated may be all I need. What do you think?

 

im getting the 555's soon, i say go with those. Not for high speeds, they are just better tires all around.

 

but what size are you getting? do you run the stock 16" rims? because nitto's site doesn't show a size that will fit, but this guy says he has the 245/50/16 NT-555

 

tirerack.com has them. I have stock 16 wheels.

 

tirerack.com doesn't sell nitto tires

 

then its discounttires.com or something like that. I will have to look it up, because i just ordered them about 2 days ago. So i should get them soon. I paid 189 a piece BTW.

 

hmmmm..the only 555's i can find that fit a 16" rim are 205/45/16...but that's way too narrow for my rims

 

i own a pair of nitto 555 245/55/16 got em at discount tire!! ahh the advanteges of havin a friend as a maneger!!

 

but as far as a daily driver tire on all four corners...would the 555's? be good...

anyone use the 450's?

 

My friend ran 555r's on all 4 corners on his car, they lasted about 8 months but it hooked great...
I had the 450's they sucked for traction, and after 4 months or so one of them got a huge bubble on the side...

 

Here's a link to my tire page, there are 3-4 vendors that sell Nitto

well, I wasn't planning on using the 555r's...just the normal 555. just wondering if anyone had them on all fours, how was the traction(wet and dry) and how long did they last?
