Nitto 555R guys

How many miles do you typically get out of yours? With typical camaro driving styles

Re: Nitto 555R guys

from an outsider's perspective:

They're radials with a lot of footprint, probably around 10-15k.

Re: Nitto 555R guys

I've got 15K outta the first set before they were bald, and I've gotten 12K outta this set, and the threads are showing...

I'm going to go with MT's this season though with the new engine combo and see how things go.

Re: Nitto 555R guys

I'd like a set, but for the 18's I'm looking at they're damn near $500 for two!

Damn expensive... As long s they get better traction than my Toyo Proxes 4... Thoes were fine when I first got them (CT), but once I got down to NM, they turned into butter! I'll get sideways through EVERY intersection, if I'm not careful! I'll smoke 2nd....rarity w/ my mods!

Re: Nitto 555R guys

If I behaved, they would probably have lasted 12-15k

I paid over that for mine. But at least they are cheapier than BFG DR's and last alot longer.

12K miles and they could not have been better....awesome tires and I had no problems in the rain. You just have to know your car.
