Nitto NT 555R Drag Radial

[-=boM=-]

What is the average life span if used for a daily driver and once in a blue moon auto cross?

Nitto claims 15000 miles.

[Luke]

People usually average between 10k-12k miles.

Heck I think i'm going way past 15000... then again they be bald :D

Run em till the cords spark :D

Oh and on a daily driver, I wouldn't wanna go past 10-12 for fear of hydroplaning.

i had some that lasted 8000 miles but then again i was really hard on them considering i had a regular set last the same mileage they were probley the best tire i've had.

I've had mine for only 3000 miles but still act like new! 100 times better than my stock F1's!

hmmm these sound sweet. I am lookin for tires to replace my normal radials because I am trowing in a verter.
with these a few questions
1) will i need to worry about chunks flying out
2) is wet weather possible
3) are these good for street and track
4) where can i purchase them
5) will they fit on the 16 inch stock T/A rim

thanks

ditto this statement, I was breaking loose on 3-4 shifts at the track with stock tires. :(

How do you mean? Are you saying the treadwear is good?

[1BadMoFo]

have any of you noticed a sandblasting effect on your car since the tires are so sticky, that they actually pick up dirt and stones and then fling them onto the car?

Yep, my car has been blasted pretty bad. I've ran 315 nittos and now 275's on telstars, so they are just a tad past the fender, and the bottom of the fender is sandblasted pretty bad. :(
