Default Final Roast of the 555r's, Hello Nt05's!!

After a good 12 months and around 15k, the 555r's have had better days. Over all I was very happy with them. I would went with another set however pulling the boat around this summer I was looking for a little firmer sidewall and tread life. So, next up is the NT05's with a 200 tread rating. Not expecting a dead hook in first, but second gear would be nice. I'll test them out after a few break in miles.

On to the final moments with the 555r's. The guys at tire kingdom was really digging red and asked since they are installing the new tires if i'd put on a show breaking them in (they already had one 555r rim removed) I said i'd do the old ones, no way on the new ones. They lit up quick on that idea and was all about it lol, so they installed the rim back on and I gave them one last turn over! RIP tires!

what psi do you keep your tires at? they laid down a nice patch compared to my 555r's. im going for the NT05r next time around.

Agreed. Those still have life on them. Lol

Did you find 305 35 20 or did you have to do the 315 35 20. I can't seem to find the 305s.
