Nitto 555R's

[Red2002]

Since the addition of a 4# lower and a JDM chip, the F1's have literally melted off. :) Thanks Terry! :tu:

I have a strong interest in the Nitto 555R drag radials. Do these work 'better' than a radial at the track? How is the second gear grab on the street? On F1's, the truck gets silly going into second gear and I end up headed for the ditch.

I'm not looking to get Toyo-mileage out of the Nitto's, but what can I expect if I have a somewhat heavy foot? Finally, who has the best prices? Thanks for any advice.

*The Discount Tire website says that one can 'extend traction and wear with Heat Cycling'. How do I go about doing this?

The R works great on dry street use. They wear a little more than twice as fast as F1's 6-7K miles. They are scary in the rain no g/f driving them in the rain :nono: Rob runs them just so he can hookup they still bark second on occasion.
