I put 65,000 miles on a set of NT-555 Extreme ZRs. They were a great tire for the price. 
I have sinced changed to the BFG KDWs and do like them much more. I can only hope that I get as much life out of the KDWs as I did the Nittos.

I had them on the car for about 10,000 miles - the wear is great. No road noise, handing is excellent - I will have Nittos on all my cars from now on 
Go for it - you won't be dissapointed.

if you are changing from runflats you will feel like kissing them, there are some better tires for the C5 but none are a better all around C5 tire they do everything very well and do not break the bank. the tire feels planted and gives you notice before it breaks lose, it is very easy to get back if it breaks lose. the tread life is great and they look good on the car.
the only down side is that you need an inflation kit (I just went to walmart and got a cheap 12volt air compressor and a tire plug kit along with a pair of pliers wrap it all up in a towel and store in the center storage bin)

They are a good tire for the money. They are a great dry-weather tire. Obviously they will ware much faster than a regular tire and not handle as well in wet conditions. TC/AH on should keep you grounded when it rains though.

i have these on my spare wheels and i have to say they dont stick worth a dam
maybe its because my regular wheels are 18x12/335 mps but still, i put these on a few days ago and feel like im driving on hockey pucks. no traction at all
