just ordered nitto 555r dr's but the last time I needed tires funds were low and i got some sumitomo 315/35/17. They are the biggest waist of money ever! My car is only driven on the weekends and the tires lasted me three months, With out even romping too hard on it. the tires flatout suck! No one ever get them....just warning you
nitto555's all the way around stock size..these hook nice
BFG KDW 275's and 315's in the back..
(On replica chromies)

Put BFG G-force sports on front and back in stock size, and couldn't believe how well they hooked. Cost me $500 for the set installed on base, couldn't be happier.
On the red car, have 285 Nitto 555s on the rear, and they barely hook even in third on reduced boost. I won't buy again.

Among Mustang drivers BFG is clearly the most popular and best choice.
Surprised to see someone running Toyos, they are uncommon on Mustangs.
Also remember that DRs will get you a couple tenths at the track and will get you killed in the rain. Is it worth it?

Falken Azenis 615's in stock sizes here. So sticky I was able to melt my brake pads on the local road course.
I have some Hankooks in the front and Nitto DR's in the back at the moment. I have new wheels and I'm about to order Hoosier DR's for the back and Falken 615's for the front.
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 - 275/35/18 front and 295/35/18 rear but just bought Vredsteins Ultrac Sessanta's for the front with the intent of buying the 295/35/18 for the rear. After the Whipple install it is very clear that I need some Nitto 555 - 335/30/18's on my 18X10.5 Saleen replica rims if I want to hookup in ANY gear .. :rockon:
For all of you running DR's on you daily drivers how do they perform. It keeps being said that they will kill you in the rain, but isn't this if your just being stupid?
Those who have Nitto 555's how do they work for you?

BFG KDW2 335/35/18
nitto 555r in the front and nitto 555 drag radial 315/35/17 in the rear
I daily drive my Cobra and I have read many threads about the Nitto 555's (since I am considering them) .. I think you are right, if you drive like an idiot, you will probably crash in the rain .. just take it easy .. :burn:
Nitto 555rs arent bad in the rain until they get bald. Thats the same with any tire IMO. As of now i have Rikens up front and 315 555rs in the back. Ill be getting some Rikens for the rear soon since my dr's are getting close to bald. Im done with dr's or sticky tires until i get axles and weld some reinforcements on my Sra and torque boxes. Nitto drs dont last long with 100+ miles a day.
Yes i will be kicking myself when i lose from spinning.

I'm running 18" Toyo T1R's, and love them! Probably not as good a true drag radial, but they hook well for the street, and have an awesome looking tread design. No offense to anyone, but the tread on the KDW's doesn't look good to me - it looks like it belongs on a truck, or something. I know they are excellent tires, but as I said, I like the look of what I have better, that's all...
BFG Super Sport A/S in stock size... I have to drive in the rain and snow at times
