Nittos and daily driving
 

I was thinking about getting some Nitto 555's for the rear of my car. I am going to stick with the stock 16" rims. What is the widest I can go for tire size? How do these handle in corners for daily driving?

they feel just like street tires....i have nitto 245 50 16's on my daily driven lt1 and i dont feel a difference in anything unless its raining and u take a turn at 90....but other than that u will be fnine and they good for those unexpected races...

Sweet. I have also heard that they are not too sticky so that I would break my rear end on the street.

u heard that u WILL break ur rear end or wont...if its u heard u will break it wit nittos ...false....they are not slicks or anytihgn..they are a good daily driver tire if u like racing on the streets and no having to put new rims on the weekend with DR's...i mean it will be ineviatable for people to break their rear ends...but u wont all of a sudden break it the first day with ur drag radials...i have had mine on for about 4 thousad miles and nothign yet... :D

I hear BFG are better for hooking *stickier* than the Nittos are. M/T ET Street Radials are also very very good tires, but they don't last very long, maybe 4-5,000 miles.

The Nittos hook pretty well, should shave off some time in the 1/4.

No I heard not to go with anything sticker than Nittos if I was going to use them at the track and on the street cuz of the glass rear end.
