I got PWNED by Nitto 555's (pictures inside)
Alright so some of you guys that are on mygtr.com might have read my comments last night about how quick my rear Nitto 555's wore out 
. So this morning I took some pictures. Funny thing is it looks like I have POSITIVE instead of negative camber 
. The outside is actually worn out more than the inside of the tire. Guess I'll have to go get my camber kit adjusted. I probably won't get these tires again after all the bad stories I heard about them. Oh ya and I bought and installed these tires on 2/6/08 so I only had them for 6 months. How the crap do they wear out that quick? I don't even track my car or anything 
. And Blasian said he got 40k miles out of his!!!
I'm thinking about going with these tires next

Anyways here are some pictures.
right rear:
lol @ my positive camber
left rear:
funny thing is, here are my stock Bridgestones, still going strong :lol: But I'll be changing these out too, so I'll get all new tires
And a big thanks to Kat (monokuroboo) for making these

Had these tires too and they sucked big time. IDK about how long the tread lastest caseu i swapped mine out so quick but these tires are just horrible in the rain. I could have killed myself. I was going around a corner and was relaxed with my music on goign like 20 mph and in the dry i do that all the time. I was in the mindset of cruising so when the back steps out im like wtf. Horrible tire....i hate it with a passion. Got the ps2's and i have nothing but good things to say about them. Those BFG's were my second choice and are a great tire. Two of my freinds have them and their awsome.

I have all season tires and they get freakin sweet grip even in the winter. I'm not going to switch to summer after getting these. They are bridgestone AS pole position tires.. Expensive, but guaranteed 30k tread and great reviews.
