Default Nitto 555 Extreme Perfomance

Please give recommendations on this tire. I want to go 285/35 18 in rear and 255/40 17 in front. Who is running these tires now? Do you like them? Do they hook up? I've heard many mixed opinions.

Thanks,

I'm interested too. Will these sizes have any issues with stock rims (2000)?

I'm running the 555's in stock sizes, and I like them MUCH better than the stock run-craps. Better traction IMO, in addition to the lighter weight..

I have that same configuration and love them. Don't expect them to be the best out there but they are awsome for the price. I also won a Autocross with them against many other C5's
