Tire advice?

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.

[c4boom]

ya that is why the SS comes with different bump stops

[Slowhawk]

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.

[ArcticSS]

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