Has anyone run these tires on a F? I can get the the NT555 for almost half the price of Super Sports (the NT05 is $75 more than the 555 or so) and my GM buddies all rock Nitto or Mickey Thomps. MT doesnt make a size for our 19s or I would run their street comps. They come in the 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 size that people run.

 

I'm running the 555's on my F, here is some info i can give you

Handling Dry : 8/10
Handling wet: 2/10
Noise: 6.5/10 (they can get quite loud)

I have no previous experience with PSS but i ran bridgestone potenza's on my IS300 and would say that the 555 is almost the same in dry climates. In wet the potenzas are definatly better and as far as noise is concerned after about 25000 km's the potenzas got quite loud as well.

I've only done about 12000 kms on the 555's and am satisfied till now. I have tried the NT05 on a friends car and the handling amazing but they are really loud.

If i had to choose again in the nitto family i would get invo's.

Hope that helps.

 

Thanks for the input! Ill look up the Invos also. What size 555s are you running?

 

I'm running 235/35/19 F and 275/30/19 R my wheels are 8F and 9.5R

 

There's a set of 555's on my old Gen Coupe (now ex-gf's car {we still hang out}) After 14 months and 13K miles, the rears are shot, fronts are good. Lightly moddded Genny puting out 335 at the crank (est).

They stick nicely, but when they break, they break VERY quickly. Decent in the wet, as much rain as we get in So Cal. I ran them up Palomar Mountain a couple of times, nothing too major, but they did well.

Noise, hard to tell, with the exhaust and the music and windows always down, being pretty deaf from bikes, and drums and machines guns n shizz, who knows...

 

I've run mult sets of nt05. Cheap high performance tire that works but they wear out pretty quick. I like them but now that I have track tires when this set is gone I'm switching to pss
