Another option for 315/35/17

Just did a Google search for 315-35-17 and I found this along with a few posts from other car froums. Looks like Nitto is in the 315 business. I know they have been making the Drag Radials for awhile now. Scroll down the page to see the street tire. Just in time as it appears some others are getting out of the business. The Goodyears are getting hard to find...

Its nice to see Nitto is again offering the regular NT555 (non-drag radial) in that size.

From everything I have read the NT555 appears to be a good tire. My Sumitomos are getting thin in the rear. The Sumi's are not a bad tire just a harder compound and not very stickly...

I was really happy with the Sumis, 10k miles of very hard use. The BFG DR's are really sticky but i don't really care for 'em as a daily tire, and they suck in the rain.
