Re: tire ?????
Ive got nitto's on my car right now, love em. The only thing is i wish i had got the r2's for the stiffer side wall. The 555r's roll in hard cornering. Great tire all around. And im sitting on 8km and they still stick.

Re: tire ?????
i have finally decided on the tires. provided i can get them under the fenders all will be good. i decided to go ahead and go with the following.
Front: Nitto 555R Extreme =$113/tire 235/45/17 Rear : Nitto 555R Drag Radial = $270/tire 285/35/18 Total= $766 really alot more than what i wanted to spend. but even with the DR's it is only about $100 more than just the 555 extreme. hopefully it will all work out. things are getting close.

Re: tire ?????
Well here's the way I look at it, an 18in drag radial is still not gonna hook that good so why not just put a regular street tire on it and atleast get some descent wear out of it. I had 18in street tires on my car with almost 500rwhp and it was fine with normal driving.

Re: tire ?????
yeah there is not sidewall to absorb the hit when it is punched....... they roll pretty easily...
