Absolutely! Pardon me for saying it, but your question seems like you have reservations about the tires, no?

I know there is one person that for whatever reason has had issues with them, but not me. (Nitto 555 front and 555r rear). I've been extremely happy with their performance, both on the drag strip and 1/2 mile runs, and on road courses/cruises. In fact, speaking of cruises, I had the unexpected experience of a (estimated) 1G turn with slight negative camber and the Z cornered like it was on rails!!

For what it's worth...I like um!

Jep, bought 555R for the front as well as the back. He stated "the tires will be hard and junk before they will need to be replaced". Makes sense to me.
The LPE had a 800 mile road trip two years ago from Atlanta to Frankenmuth, MI on December 9th missed a blizzard going through Cincinnati by two hours.

If you become a member I can set you up with a tire account that will save you about $90.00 Last set was $570.00 for all four tires delivered.

Yes and No, The Account is under my name not the ZR-1 Net Registry. If a member wants tires I set them up with thier own account.
While I am no longer a director I will always support the members who are keeping the "King" alive.
And....does it make a difference where the tires are delivered?
No they will deliver the tires direct. AZ,OH and TX pay tax.

Cliff, there is no information that I can give you. I have to set the account up. Send me a PM with all your contact information and when it is the best time to call you.

Guys thanks for the all the responses, I have heard that the 555 are not the best for handling but the NT05 would be the way to go. anyone out there have the NT05 how long do they last? how are they if you get caught in the rain?
