how long have your nitto 555r's lasted
mine are almost done, and i really dont have a lot of miles on them at all. i know theyre a really soft tire since theyre a drag radial, but theyre still a street tire, and i havent really burned out, peeled out, etc on them. how long has yours lasted?
The first set about 6K and the second about 8.5K .
I’m currently running 305/45-18 Nitto NT555R Tire, they have lasted me about a year they are harder rubber and taller, (changes the gear ratio to something like from 3.83 to 3.68) I kept spinning the tires, so this helped some.
I have run about 12K and now are bald and need replacement ($232.00), I usually run them about 26 to 28 LBS for street use, (I do not haul or tow on this PSI)

mine have only about 3000 on them and i dont do burnouts or anything. i have raced on them a couple of times but not anything drastic. they are pretty much to the tread bars. im hoping thats how they wear and wont lose anymore tread because they are an expensive tire.
I get a lot of miles out of mine, but I am not out there ripping up the streets all the time. The set I have now has lasted for almost a year. Truck is daily driven. I am close to getting a new set after I get back on the track. They are good for about two or three good burnouts to get them sticky at the track. I am considering going with the M/T's and see how they do.
