Yeah i did look at the 555's and they are a little cheaper than the Nt-05's. Probably not gonna be doing any autox but i just like the way they look. Decisions

My buddy had 555's on the front and he said compared to his Sumitomos, the 555's were a little spongy-ierrr as far as steering. They're a soft sidewall drag tire, so for the front I'd say that the trip5's aren't IDEAL, but they'll work.

555R's out front? if so then your right. the regular 555's have a stiffer sidewall then most.

there are 3 555's
555- performance street
555R- drag radial
555RII - auto-cross tire

Make sure you are looking at the right ones

Yeah im looking at the regular 555's but i don need any for the front. Just getting two rears. Hopefully selling my green 4th gen tomorrow and if so, going home and ordering ASAP.

IF i had the money I would do 555RII out back and a 555 in the front for a street tire combo for a street strip I would then have a set of street strip wheels and run mickys on the rear and a et street dot front

Tried to have the 295/35/18 Nt-05's mounted today and they dont fit. They are rubbing on the bumpstops. Took off bumpstops but its hitting the mounting unit for the bumpstops. Added some 1/4 spacers to the wheels and it doesnt rub but i can only get like 4 turns on the lugs. Oh well. Already gonna swap these for the 285 nt-05. The 295's on the car dont rub because they're 2 inches taller and go over the bumpstop completely. I gonna save like $40 anyway for getting the smaller ones.

ya that is why the SS comes with different bump stops

You grind down the bump stops or cut them off completely(like my car) Not hard. a 2" taller tire is not a good idea.Well, neither is spacers on the rear wheels.

Well i already put in an order for exhange and getting the 285's. Only like 1/4 difference width.
