Default Nitto 555r vs. other street slicks?

Nitto 555r' are 76 a piece at tires.com and the BF goodrich ones are about 120 a piece. I have never bought drag radials before and am interested in trying them out sometime in the future. Any recommendations? How do Nitto 555r's do compared to others? It is the cheapest alternative thats where my interest mostly comes from. Thanks for any information.

If you want a cheaper tire go for the 555R's. If you want something that will hook 10 times better, go with the BFG's.

i used both the 555Rs and the BFGs..

BFGs definitly great for the track if you cant step up to real slicks. THEY HOOK

but I have been using the 555Rs as my daily tires for a period of a couple of months and they are great. Very quiet, grip well, great for street racing here and there and the price is unbeatable.

Get the BFG g-force drag radials. They're like $105 or so a piece (15"), from Summit Racing. They hook 324863018344950342 times better than Nitto 555R drag radials.
