for anyone with nitto 555rs
 
i'm thinkin about ordering a pair for the rear to go on my stock wheels and i was just wondering how they perform and how well the life span of them are..

I have been saying it for years, they are the best drag radial to daily drive on out of all of the tire makers. They are not the stickiest of all the drag radials, but they last the longest and are good in the rain till they get worn down (like any other tire). I got normally around 12,000-15,000 miles on a set and some people even get 15k-18k on them with little burnouts or screwing around on them. I love them and have used a good share of them on my car.

That's for sure. 275 is max on 8" wheel and I only would do it on the back wheels not the fronts. First pair I had and as you can see I had not figured out what psi to run yet. 20-22psi works best for full contact patch and good wear. In this photo they are at like 28psi.

What in the living hell would possess anyone to do that? That's like me having size 5 1/2 feet and wearing a size 9 shoe.

Someone needs to just save up for wheels that fit the tires or get tires that fit the wheels.

that looks horrible..

Not only does it look like ass, it is not going to handle/ wear well at all.. It will be probably unsafe.. If going to mod, be prepared to spend money.. and not half ass it.
