Default F/S Pair of Nitto 555R2 305/35/18 Pair

Sold

I have a pair of Nitto 555r2 that I purchased off Minkster on here. They have about 1000 miles on them 4/32's and are in very good shape. These tires are very sticky and are about the best gripping street legal tire for the street. Right after I purchased these I found some road racetires for my 19's so I don't need these.

I am looking for $235.00 + shipping
pm or email yokenr@yahoo.com

You have a PM on the Nitto R2 tires. If your Toyo's are the RA-1 and they still have rubber on them from 2004 you aren't driving that Corvette like it was ment to be driven.

I have 642rwhp and so far the ra1s are best tires I have ever had but I never tried these Nittos. We will see how the pilot cups hold up.

Howie! If I could afford a new 2008 C6-Z06 like you I wouldn't need to be buying used tires.

Frank

If you sold one of your Vettes you could open up your own tire store

And I hav 24K miles on my Z06 and haven't bought anything but USED tires

So keep your eyes open for USED MPSC in 325x30x19 please

I have a set of 305 35 18 Toyo RAI on the rear of my C5-Z06 right now. They handle almost identical to the Nitto R2. With my driving style my Nitto R2's lasted me about one year so I would guess the RA1 will last me about one year also. The Pilot Cup's will probably wear out faster but you should get a little better traction. I have a friend using the Pilot cup tires on his 750hp SC C5 and likes them.
