Nitto 555R Tires - First Driving Impression - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

xlr8nflorida - I appreciated your first impressions of the 555R, I wonder if you could post a follow up now that you've had them longer? I started a thread here:

and I was hoping to get opinions on the 555R vs the NT-05.

Did you run the 555R on all four wheels, or just the backs? How do they corner? Could you share your experience with the board so we can get reviews of both of these affordable tires in one spot to help make informed decisions? Thanks!

I put the same tires (Nitto 555)on my 91 Z & am having a bad time getting the vibration out. They have balanced the back 3 times & replaced the back tires for me. We balanced the front twice & it seemed to help a bit, between 72 to 78 mph it vibrates in the seat. Over 80 it seems to level out good, have to keep at it I guess. lorne
