Maybe now I can get a decent 60' times ,I broke down and bought Nitto 555R Extreme DR's 245x45x17's at $183ea ,and for the rear Michelin Pilot Primacy 245x45x17's@ $262ea,total came to $862 delivered .Without even doing a warmup they stick nice of course it's almost 100deg out in Gonzales they rate these tires good for 15000 highway miles so if your thinking of buying a summer tire for track and street these may be for you.Chico(pops)

I got michelin primacy's and they just stick and go, they're very good tires.

i really would like some 555's and will have to invest in some when i get the car running

By the way it feels now i think 1.7 to 1.8 60' times are attainable .Chico(pops)

Those some expensive rear tires!

I've yet to use my free radial/rims I got.

Chico,

Please post your results with those tires, whether they meet your expectations or not. I've been kicking around buying some tires just to get some consistant launches.

yes i got some DR also i just dont have any wheels to mount them to, but i didnt pay close to that chico i got myn for 65 shipped and there is plenty of tire left on them

did you get tubeless or tube type ??

The Nitto555R are tubeless.

I'd love to have some DRs, but I would have to buy a separate set of rims for the front. I wouldn't run them in the rain.

rook thats the same problem that im running into, gotta find 2 t stars for cheep so i can mount them up

hey chico you run out at SAR??
