I have 295/45r18 goodyear eagle f1's on my truck and they just will not bite. i mean they wont hook up for nothing.
My question is are nitto nt555's any better on the street?
im lookin at doin some suspension work too and i could use some advice on that as well.

 

Does anyone use Nittos?

 

Learn to drive the truck and the F1's will hook up as good as anything you can legally run on the street...

Any vehicle with 400+ HP is going to destroy street tires if not driven in a conscientious manner.

 

Well, they dont seem to work very well for me.
And I think I know how to drive my own truck.
I can roll into it from a dead stop and it will break loose. Heck, I can stand on it from 45 and it'll lite 'em up. This isn't a race truck, like vinnie or Rob00; it's a street truck.

What about the nt555 r's? Would they help?

 

the 555r's work way better then the stock tires,,,,,they dont last as long either

 

Except that they are absolute shyte in the rain, even compared to stock. They DO hook up very nice on dry ground though.

 

Well, I'm not worried about the rain. I live in a little place called "Lubbock, Texas"


Lubbock, Texas: mild, windy, semi-arid climate; dust storms not uncommon. On average, receives 18.7 inches of rain per year.

 

thats alot of rain where i come from(cali desert) vyper is right about the rain,,,,so be careful when its wet

 

If you don't mind a slightly shorter sidewall BFG makes a couple drag radials that will fit.

Mickey Thompson ET Streets are another option- they are a dot rated drag radial

 

get some nitto 555
