I don't have anything bad to say about my 555's, although I have different tires on the rear now due to getting wider wheels but I still have them up front. I don't track my car but they seem to stick fine for my sometimes spirited weekend drives, even when I had them on all four corners.

i love my nitto nt555's. They are a lot quieter than my stock potenza's. A lot meaning A LOT. Also it's smoother, better grip in dry weather, have about 6k miles on it and a lot of thread left. I did a couple of hard runs in it. Cornering is great. I have had Falken azenis, dunlop direzza's, dunlop sport max, and these are my fav so far.

CHECK MY SIG!!!
Avoid them! Those people who say Nitto 555s are good obviously
don't drive hard enough and don't drive in the rain.
Dry traction is mediocore at best, and wet traction is simply ABYZMAL.
On rainy days, my car literally skate across the freeway
Please spend 50-70 more dollars per tire and pick up some Michellin Pilot PS2 or Goodyear Eagle GS D3

are you sure you had the tires on teh right way? they are not good in rain but most other performance tires aren't. I don't drive hard in the rain as well. The nt555 can't be rotated or flipped from one side to the other. They need to be put on the right way. People have had this problem. I'm a tire freak and trust me, this isn't a bad tire. I don't know where you are getting this info from. So many people use the nt555 and praise them.

Nitto 555 is alright for the price but NOT good compared to Michellin Pilot PS2 or Goodyear Eagle GS D3 when it comes to traction..ESPECIALLY wet traction.
I guess if you're just looking for an affordable tires with long thread life go for it by any means.
But they definitely DON'T meet up to my standards and I will never get another set.

Invo's are better , check them out on Nitto's site. The 555 is noisy , and very poor in the corners, but they seem to last a long time.
