Anyone running Nitto 555 295/45/18s?

How do you like them? Do you run them on all four corners? I'll be in the market for a set of tires in the Spring and want to start getting some feedback. Also, is there anywhere I can order them online and about how much per am I looking at?

Thanks in advance..

I have them on all 4 and like them alot. They are cheaper than F1's and said to get better traction. Good wet traction. Same treadwear rating as well. I got them for 200/peice mounted and balanced with the warranty and evertyhing.

My 555's just came in the mail today, I cant wait to put them on the front of my 2000 L. The tread is very agressive, I plan on putting 555r's on the back in spring.

For my .02 cents worth I will have to say they are not as good as the F1's. The tread compound is not as soft as the Goodyears and don't ride as smooth. As for grip, not as good either. Have had them both out on the road course at Thunderhill and have to say the Nitto are not as grippy. I also notice that on the 1-2 shift the nitto's break loose where the goodyears would just have a healthy chirp. They were $18 cheaper per tire than the Goodyears at Americas Tire Co.
