I have these on my 99 coupe and have had good results at the track with 21-22 pounds.
I inflate the fronts to about 38-40 pounds to help with weight distribution.
I keep my launches around 2000 to minimize wheel hop and slip the clutch rather than dump it.
You can go around the water box and spin the wheels just a bit to clean them off or you could back into the wet area and do a short burnout.

What pressure are guys running in their Nittos 555r's? I have tried everything from 21 to 28psi and I cant seem to get a decent burnout on the street without water due to it wanting to wheel hop (which I am paranoid everytime that happens). I am installing my new clutch, output shaft and DTE brace now so I don't have to worry about breaking my tranny.
Any ideas to tricks to keep the car from wheel hopping?
