    if u go to performance solutions, they can get them for real cheap, but not in stock

    i heard from some people though that the nittos are like ice skates at tracks?
    I think the price is close to 200 a tire, not entirely sure but I would check the BFG KDW's

    the nitto is definetly a good street tire. not the greatest at the track, but will make you happy on the street.

    Right now I'm looking for something that will be great on the street and hopefully a decent improvement over typical street tires at the strip. Eventually I will get something to throw on the rears for the track, but I'll probably save that until next winter. I've got to get rid of these Bridgestone Potenza's on my car because they are all old, the fronts have maybe another 1000 miles of useful service life, and they look really dry given the cracks seen in the treads. Looks like I'm going to be giving PSR a call really soon

    Anybody else having problems with the 555R's? Dude i don't know if i have horrible luck or what but I just walked outside to go home from work and saw I have another flat! That makes 6 in the last month and a half. I do run the car hard but this is just getting stupid! I love the tire...just not when it has to be replaced on an almost weekly basis. bout ready to shoot myself if it happens again!

    No problems with the 555's here except they suck at the track. Given that I broke my IRS on the street IO can say they hook up on the street.

    As for your flat.....stop running over nails LOL

    I've had problems with my Nitto DR's going flat. Like everyone said, great street tire but not so good on the strip. I'm gonna try the BFG's next.
