From what I have read the NTO5R's are terrible in the rain & don't hook very well with 600+ hp.

I like the nitto 555r. I've had them for a few months and they are much better than regular street tires. I hear they last 15-20k miles too. I never go To the track though.

305 nitto 555r2's worked very well for almost a year, and held good to about 600whp. now they are just smoke machines.. i just run three sets of tires, stock ps2's for winter, nitto 555r2's for summer street. and hoosier 275 dr's for mehico and the track.

got another set of mt et streets, think they are bias bly, came with the nitrous vette, haven't run them yet..

How have these held up on your L? They will be my next set of rears
They are shot now but they have an unreal number of passes on them with. I drive mine regardless of the weather..There is less than a tenth diff in the street tire 60 ft and with the slicks on my truck...
