Question

555 or 555r?


Going with nitto's but cant decide between 555 or the 555r's for the rear, I would love to have the 555r's but I heard they wear somewhat fast, I am a little short on money, and would like to be spending my extra cash on performance mods instead of tires every 3 months.

Then go with the 555s? It sounds like you make your choice already.

555s are more of an overall performance tire, 555Rs are drag radials.

I'm assuming your car is a DD, in which case I'd recommend the 555s.
