Default Nitto 555RII owners--help

I ordered a set of RII's a couple of days ago. They showed up today. but they are marked 555R drag radials.

Are these the right tire? I'm thinking not.

You are thinking correctly. They got the R's but forgot the II's!

From the Nitto site:

The Nitto NT-555R Extreme Drag Radial Tire is an exciting addition to the specialty performance radial tire segment of the Nitto Tire Product Line. With the NT-555R Nitto engineers succeeded in designing a DOT approved, drag racing radial tire.

The Nitto NT-555RII Extreme R road race and auto cross competition radial tire was developed through a unique fusion between a race circuit oriented stiff sidewall construction and the popular Nitto Drag Radial tread pattern.
