The Nitto 555s are great tires.

I have the 555r's and I don't care for them. I can't get them to hook. Ever. I hear the new M/T ET's are a nice tire.

I was thinking about trying the new Nitto INVO's for my next set of tires.

I run Nittos NT 450 275-50-17s because they are the closest to stock height, just wider, but I hate them and cannot get them to hook up on the street, EVER!

The 450 is a standard performance tire with a 300 tread wear which means it is a harder compound designed for higher milage. The drags have a 100 tread wear...much softer compound.

I found that out

I run MT ET Drag Radials during the summer and at the track.
I have 3 sets on different rims.
I was looking for something to replace my stock tires for the rain and winter.
The Nitto 450 was suppose to be a good tire in the dry and wet.

I will try something else next time, these won't last long if all they do is spin!
