Depends on what you want to do with the car. Are you a drifter, drag racer, or just a daily driver?

Never tried the Nitto's. I have Dunlop FM901's on mine right now. Plan to buy them again when these wear out (soon), or I might go for the ES100's.

Nitto 555R DR's are great for the strip and good on the street. However they will only be good for sliding in the rain not dry pavement. The regular Nitto Extreme 555 street radial I have had good luck with for daily on my Supra but is not good for the track.
