Opinions on Nitto 555 tires......
Once all the snow and ice are gone this spring, I'll be shopping for 4 new tires for the Z. Discounttiresdirect.com has Nitto 555's for what seems a reasonable price. I did a search on here for opinions, but looked like they were all old threads. I'd like some opinions on these tires from guys that have had them on for awhile. Are they grippy?
Also, where do I take the tires and wheels to have them mounted? The dealership? Just any old tire place? About how much will they charge for the job? Thanks again.

Do you mean the Nitto 555r Drag Radials? Those are what I am getting next for my Z. Really good grip daily driving, outstanding at the track/street when you heat them up with a burnout.
I thought discount tire price includes mount, balance, warranty?

For the money I think they're excellent.

got em, 245/40-18 on the front, 275/45-18 on the rear, although im switching the rears to 285/40-18 come spring. i love them, i have lost traction in rain a couple of times, but no biggie.
where are you from tjhands? if there is a discount tire around you i would take it there, they carry the tires and can mount/balance for you

a buddy of mine runs Nitto 555s on his Ford Lightning and really likes them.
I had Bridgestone S03s on my Z, but have now replaced them with BFG g-Force KDs... better than anything else I've experienced first hand. I'll never put anything else on my Z (unless it's a full comp tire).
The downside to the KDs are that they are poor wet weather tires and assymetric... so no tire rotation at all. If you can live with that, they're the stickiest stuff around!
