has anyone heard anything about/ had any expereinces with the Nitto Nt555r II's yet? theyre supposed to be the same tread and compound as their drag radials but with a stiffer sidewall for cornering... theyve been out for a lil while but i havent heard anything about them... i thought theyd go good on my GSX... big tire, soft compound, stiff sidewall= pretty damn good performance tire IMO... who the fuck cares about how long they last?!? stop tryin to seel tires... later

are you talking shit to me and what the hell is stop tryin to seel tires...

 

No i am agreeing with JDK on the fact that treadwear is definatly an afterthought on sportscars... it is the last thing that i am worried about when i shop for tires... its like deciding on which rims to buy for your track-only car based on their color... its a race car- not a show car... despite what is commonly thought amongst ricers, the color is not goin to lower your lap times at all... and that was a typo... i was tellin the guy with the yugo to stop "selling" tires... not "seeling" tires... are you really that stupid that you couldnt figure that out

 

to answer your question about the 555 r2's...They're the shit. Nearly the grip of BFG drag radials, with the cornering capability of good street tires. Relatively good treadwear and they're good in rain too.

 

Sheeaa, goes to show how much you known. Its a know fact that for motorcycles blue is the fastest color. And for rims you see the fastest rollover rate with the color white. Fuggin amature. BTW...i roll the gold flake rims--almost as fast as the white, but they look so hawt. I "just" edged out a Mclaren track car at Sebring cause the reflection of my mad bling'n rims distracted the driver dawg.




On another note, i just picked up my Greddy blinker fluid and some Blitz piston return springs. The stuff is going in the car tomorrow, then i'll be mad fast from the dig yo.

oh shit i guess i should have done my research... nahhh... aaahahahahahahahahaha

 

Im stupid I want a stiff sidewall for drag racing I want to get some of those stiff sidewall drag slicks and a pair of those stiff sidewall drag radials

 

I've heard those piston springs suck ass...try some HK$ ones. And where the hell did you get GReddy blinker fluid?! I've been looking everywhere for some...

 

I gots connections You know that fluid isn't due for release in the U.S. until 2005! BTW...HKS is the suxor on the return springs. Put the G's in today, and man what difference! They where real easy to put in too. You saw it here first...the new TR king has arrived

 

Ive had those return springs on my hondah for the past 3 weeks man... they added a lot of hp to my car... about 45 hp!! thats like 2 APC stickers worth of power dawgg... now all i gotta get is some NOS and ill be runnin 10's at the track with my "stiff- sidewall drag radials"... lmfao
