[QUOTE="Kel, post: 16784979, member: 162077"] I ended up ordering from Discount Tire Direct, since while Lethal had these in stock I couldn't find anyone willing to mount them. It took this long to get both tires in from the west coast to the only DTD store in Pittsburgh (oddly, 1 came in fairly quickly and the 2nd tire took over a month afterwards). At least it gave me an excuse to drive to the other side of Pittsburgh on a beautiful Friday and put a few miles on her. The DTD guys were very professional, quick, and courteous. I asked them to be careful with the Alcoas for obvious reasons and they were very accommodating/careful. Highly recommend them next time around. I had the 555Rs on for 6 years and ~ 5000 miles of fairly easy travel. They were at the wear bears/<2/32's, so you really don't get a lot out of them. You could tell they were getting older as they would chirp when making a 90 deg right/left turn under moderate acceleration and on 1/2 and 2/3 shift under power. The new RII's on the other hand are quiet and hold much better on hard acceleration. They also seem more stable at higher speed. Likely due to corrected air pressure(s) and the newer compound/tires compared to used tires. I'll need to try some more launches/high RPM shifts/driving (I saw a cloud in the sky so we had to go back to the barn ;) ) and get more miles on them to get a better picture, but at this point they seem to be a definite upgrade from the original 555Rs which were a decent tire (and obvious upgrade to the original GY's). When I figure how to get pics from my phone, I'll show the differences, etc. [/QUOTE]
