I was thinking about putting the Nitto 555R Drag Radials on all four corners of my ITR. I was wondering how they perform compared to our stock RE010's in terms of street driving (i.e. cornering, etc.). I obviously know how they perform in a straight line.

What's everybody think?

 

they'll be awesome.. but don't expect them to last long or grip well in the rain

 

well...I have them on my gsr and I can only comment about straight line performance(they do say extreme drag on the sidewall). If you heat them up they work great from a launch...they get very, very sticky. I cant comment on the turning part because a)my gsr handles kinda y anyway, b) I dont really go fast around turns because that definately isnt safe on the street c) I only have them on the front. I say just get two for the front and use them for drag....

 

Nitto 555R's are ok for the street. I recommend the BFG g force drag radials though. They hook better on launches, has better cornering capabilities, and seem to be a tiny bit better in the rain that 555R's. However, they wear rather quick.
