yea i don't think they import them anymore in that size. I was looking around for them and couldn't find them, but i'm currently in Japan and it looks like they still make them here...

They're kind of expensive here so it wouldn't be worth ordering a set unless you really wanted/needed a set. If your really interested I can get them and I know a place that can ship to America. I just bought a set of Zeal S6's and I am having them shipped to the US.

good question, you might just call up your nearest tire store and see if they carry any nitto tires. if so, they can find out fast if you can get your triple fives in the size you want

Yeah honestly i like my Kumho's better then i did my Nitto's. Although the 555's are a damn good tire.

A few weeks ago i was going to purchase some more drag radilas 555r's 205/45/16. I had heard rumors that thye were discountinued, but decided to call my friend at discount to find out. Sure enough they were discontinued. My suggestion call discount tire and confirm if they are still available or not.

Yeah i knew they were discontinued, i just saw them on a few sites a couple months ago and was wondering if i can still get em, thx for the help guys...

And 00 FBP ItR what the hell does that mean? I can't even buy my own tires now or what? Ive had Re010s, falkens, and bfg DR's and they are all good tires, the falkens handled great, but im looking for a drag tire for the track, none of them came close for launching at the track like the BFGs of course but i don't want that kind of treadwear. Do you know of any better tires other than bfgs or nittos for launching? Probably not. Also nittos apparently handle decently, probably alot better than those bfgs anyways lol, so i can have a bit of both worlds, don't think i haven't tried my luck with some different tires...thx to the people with relevant answers

I've pulled 2.0's on 195/50 S03's and they handle extremely well. Just some info in case the Nitto's aren't made anymore
