Question Nitto 555's or 555DR's???

Which tire would be a better choice for my modifications? I will be adding Steeda upper and lower rear control arms at the same time. i don't go to the local 8th-mile track very often, but will go occasionally. I drive my car every day. What are the positives and negatives of each that you might have experience with? i haven't seen a thread on this specific topic and I think this will be crucial to my car doing better at the track. Thanks.

Well, 555 will be the way you want to go. With the DR's you will most likely be going through rubber faster then you would like. Plus after a certain point the DR are not legal on streets.
