umm not sure but 555r's are w and y rated so u can go faster with them the NT01 is only z rated which is still a very good tire and wen u get down 3/32 of the tire tread its just like slicks with 2 grooves so idk i will probably still stick with the 555r's they look better i dont see a difference between he two

The 555R is a drag radial for strait line performance. The NT01 has a stiffer sidewall and is for road racing and twisties.
