It depends what your looking for in a tire. If your looking for longevity and price, go with the Hankooks. If you looking to street race often then go with the Nitto's.

If you race alot either at the strip or street, then think about getting the DR's. They come with about half the tread depth of the 555's, so keep that in consideration as well.

From what everyone says, the nittos are better for traction. The nice thing about the hankooks is price. I got a set of 4 hankooks for 650$ shipped. They have about 15000 miles on them and still have ALOT of tread left.
