Default Nitto Tires

Hi!
I am thinking about to buy Nitto NT-555 Extreme Performance - Z Rated, i doesnt know anything about this tire, because in Europe they are not available!

Can you tell me something about them?

Well I dont run the NT555, but if it's anything like the 450. I dont like them.

They are "supposedly" a half decent tire. But I think for the money the Azenis still comes out on top.

nah..there not..Nt450's suck ***..Depending on what your using the tires for..and what type of driving you do...Nt555R's are great tires...for High speed and in the rain..etc..not so much auto x or road racing...Invest in some Azenis tires..if thats the type of driving you plan on doing. You get more bang for your buck..with that tire.

And what´s about the Yokohama Parada Spec-2??

And are YokohAma tires other than YokohOma, or is this just a failure in writing??

Thanks!

i have never heard anybody worth their weight in synthetic oil say anything good about Nitto tires.

i have NEVER seen a Nitto tire at the track, and that's all i need to know.

i would stay away from them.

I had nitto 555 on my street wheels, 205/40/17.
Street tire they are OK.
ttrack tire-----NO!
the 555R is good for the 1/4, but slicks or even BFG drags are better.
