I am looking at the Nitto 555r's. What size should i get, and where should i get them?? Any other suggestions on tires as well? Please include size.

 

What size rims do you got?

 

the nitto 555's are ok imo, i'd recommend looking into other drag radials before making a sure decision.

 

get some BFG's. i hear they are better than Nitto 555R. Ask Austin, hes had lots of experience with 205/45-15 555R and now hes gonna be using 205/50-15 BFG

 

I've only had 5 learning runs on the BFG tires, and well over 200 runs on the Nitto tires...best 60" for me on the nitto tires were a 2.107, so far on the BFG I've run 4 2.2X and 1 2.1X, but I'm still playing with the tire pressures and launch RPM...I need to hit up a good test and tune section.

BFG gForce Drags they are on my list of things to get soon. very sticky, and good enough to get you to and from the track.

 

I agree. The gForces hook unbelievable for a street tire.

 

1.95 60' on BFG's 205-50-15's on steelies in a 3166lb. Prelude

'nuf said buy them, run them, love them

edit: 16lbs. front 42 rear stock potenzas

 

Unfortunately I'm stuck with Nittos. Austin: Did you kind an ideal tyre pressure for your setup???

 

BFG's are the **** , when you go to a big event and BFG is there, ask to use a set , they will let you for free, 1st run on thme i went 1.9 60ft without even pushing it too hard.

 

ok i'm gonna get the BFG g-Force T/A's in 205/50/15. I'm just wondeirng if i should get them on steelies becuase they won't drive at all in the rain...or do they grip somewhat well in the rain???

 

GO 225 50 15 or 215-50-15 i forget the size off hand, trust me ,more sidewall = more traction

 

make sure you get the gforce T/A drag radials, and not the COMP T/A radials... there is a difference so make sure you order the right ones.

 

the comp t/a are for the rwd cars, and yes there is a big diff , i haev used both.

i don't run them on the street so i can't say but I use Honda CRv 15" Steelies (smallest ones that'll fit over the calipers)

Although, some turbo guys on here do use the Comp T/A's due to lack of larger sizes with the g-Force.

I've driven the g-Force in mild rain before, going 75-80 mph on the highway. But I wouldn't recommend it. Hydroplaning is not fun.
