Default anyone used NITTO 555DRs?

i'm about to trade an old blown 4.8 motor for a set of these tires, 245/75/16 I THINK, probably different though. are they worth it, and will they hook on a truck?

well i have a set of 305/45/18, yes those are lighting tires...dont kill me, but I hooked like a son of a bitch the last time at the track. And if you put the presure back up on the street and know how to baby them you can get some good ricer kills in too.

Good luck

No I think they come with Micherlans or something, cant even spell them much less care to run them. I have the Tri-5's 305's which is what most lighting guys run because it looks right on there trucks, why dosnt nitto make a tire that looks good on our trucks...lets ask GM?? OHHH that is right they have to put a supercharger on everything...that makes them cool!!!! Anyway get the nittos and take the presure down to around 20 psi, blow the dust off of them "around" the box and let her eat, see what happens. I had a good ride.
