I believe they have been discontinued as I was looking for a set in that size as well.

I have two of the Nitto NT 555R II Extreme 305/35/18 tires that I don't need any longer and are available. I bought them brand new on 10/23/12 from America's Tire and I put about 1,000 miles on them before I replaced them with MT-ET Street drag radials in the same size. Where are you located? Can you pick them up? I'm not sure that I want to go through the hassle of shipping them. I live in the San Jose, CA area.

I live in Florida so I cant pick them up. Most couriers will ship tires without being boxed, A ups or FedEx pack and ship store will stack 2 together and put 3 nylon straps on them and away they go.

If you do decide to ship them get me a price delivered to 34285.
I would also like to see some pix. I will pm you.
Thanks

Here are a couple of pics that I just now took of the tires. The date code is 5111. I will look into the cost and potential hassle of shipping and get back to you.

I took the tires down to a UPS store today to get a cost estimate to ship the tires. The good news is that there is not much hassle on my part to ship them. The bad news is that the shipping cost is pretty high. The can't ship them banded together so they have to ship them separately for a cost of around $100 each. I couldn't remember your zip code but told the UPS agent to calculate the cost to Jacksonville so that should still be close on the shipping cost.
