Are you serious? Do they really hook up that good? I have a set of 18 inch wheels and need some slicks. If these Drag Radials do that well, well it looks like that's what I need and I won't have to buy a set of 16 inch wheels.
Thanks,

I saw some Nitto's on a Lightning last Saturday at Ennis. Those things look mean!! I don't know if it was anyone on this board, but he told me he was running 12.8 on the nittos and only a 4# pulley, chip, filter kit if I remember correctly. I was impressed with the looks of the tires on the truck, and I think they were the 305's.

The nitto 555R's only come in a 295/45/18 inch tire. Nitto has ther tires that come in a 305 size but there not the top of the line Drag radials. The nitto's are going to hook allot better then the F1's, there designed for that. But don't think your going to pull the front tires of the grond with these tires too. If you serious about drag racing, then by a set of slicks and call it a day, not only are they cheaper but there better for traction.
bob did you get a 1.5 60 foot with those tires? I'm not sure if thats what your saying but if it is, BULL*****! Please verify.

555's vs 555r's
Gotta be careful here...
Nitto makes three different possible tires sizes that have been discussed on this board... (that I know of)...
There is the 505 Extreme Force.... Truck performance tire, in 305/55. Tread wear rating of 400.
Then there is the 555 Extreme ZR (notice it's not called a drag radial), 295/45, Tread wear rating 300.
And... the 555r Extreme Drag Radial, 305/45. Tread wear rating of 100.
BTW... the F1's have a tread wear rating of 200 I think... so in theory, the 555's would wear longer... this would ALSO imply less traction... but who REALLY knows...?
Personally I have the 505's, and the traction seems BETTER than the f1's... But you know I'm NOT biased or... something....
