You guys seem to get a lot better access to tyres over there than we do in Australia. What are the current tyres of choice?
I am hearing good things about Nitto 555R's but we have only a few sizes available here.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Forget the Nitto 555Rs -M/Ts Blow them away-just put a set on my car-Heat them up they "stick like F!@#$N Glue"! 0 Tread wear with their R1 Compound-u can feel the difference just by touching them.

I just replaced my Nittos with the MT's. Have not decided if I like them better.

BUT-Since you have a Monaro you may not be able to use them-My buddy has an 05 GTO he had to buy the NITTO 555Rs because Mickey Thompson did not manufacture a Drag Radial in the P245 0R P255 whatever one u guys use on those Monaros/GTOs. ...........P.S. Say Hi to Crocodile Dundee for me!

How's things "Down Under"? I saw a cool video feed of what looked like an older model Monaro at a drag strip in Australia doing the most outrageous Burn-out it looked like a Pro-Mod car. Did you see it? It was a Black car. Cool S!#t :cool:
