What will the nittos take first??

Gonna be mounting Nitto 555rs soon. I race almost every weekend at the track, and as of last year my clutch was making noises after ever race, and my rear end is also. Both have about 86K miles on them. So whats gonna go first? My clutch, rear, or neither?

if your clutch is really weak, i guess thats goin to go first, but that doesnt mean the rear wont go with it

Most of the time the rear will hold the lunch, and then break on a 1-2 or 2-3 shift

If your clutch is weak, it should go 1st. I use 555R's at teh track & my rear hasnt gone yet. I still spin em off the line. But then, I dont go to the track every weekend.

The clutch will go first if its still a stocker( I could feel mine going even when I only had a cut-out and FIPK. It got really bad when I installed the cam and headers. Put street tires back on it and it just blew the tires off it. Put the 555r's on and clutch slips
