555's are nice you just won't get a lot of miles out of them

Nitto 555's are great performance street tires for the money.

kidding me right? im pretty sure they have the best tread life out of all the performance tires on the market. they are rated at around 15,000 miles

That's what I was saying. They have good performance but you will probably have to replace them before a year. Versus more of a street tire where you could get like 25k miles

my next set of wheels will probably some BFG KDWs...they perform well and the tread pattern looks sick.

i say get some bfg kdw's. i got them last year and am very pleased with them. I almost :'( when i light them up (emphasize the almost ;D) originally i ordered 555s but they didnt have them and so they knocked the price down the the kdw's so i got them instead. bfgs will hook better but nittos will last longer.

nitto 555s (not 555r's) are one of the longest lasting "high performance street tire" shit i think they last well over 25k and bfg's last a little less (they are both still street tires). either will last more than a year unless you do a big burnout at every stop light or drive across the country often... i dont remember exactly what people were getting out of them but it is definately better than 15k

BFG KDWII's have a tread wear rating of 300, thats better tread life than my old Kuhmo Supra 712's
