Default nitto 555 poor traction

Does anyone here run nitto 555's? I just replaced them and realized how poor they were in the traction dept.

The sumitomo HTRZ II that I installed hook much better hardly any wheelspin at all. The nittos would spin alot on almost any surface. On a cold day forget about it, the tires would smoke like i had 500 horsepower.

I can speak with experience, Ive had 2 sets of 245/35/19 nitto 555 extremes and to be honest, I loved them. I had pirelli Pzeros and most people will agree with me, they are waaaaaay to noisey. Nitto was a quiet and somewhat aggresive tire. My worst experience was with some toyo proxes. About that khumo, thats just an economical tire in my eyes, I wouldnt put those on anything I love =)
