nitto 555r or m/t et's for better tire/milage wear??
well i know that the mickey thomsoms are alot better, and that the nittos are alot better for street/cruising+miles.

If you race on them at all....
Nittos will go 10-12K miles.
MT's will go 3-4K miles.
I run the Nittos as a street tire and currently run the MT's as my drag tire.
Will be purchasing another set of Nittos soon, but I will be going a different route for drag DOT.

FYI om Nittos
Hello Folks
Just thought I would throw this out there.
I have been running Nittos Extreme 555 for the past couple of years, Seems to handler great , hook up pretty good and look bitchin'.....
But the coolest thing!
While having to replace a damaged tire a couple of weeks ago, I came across on Ebay an auction from Discount Tire online selling 285/35/18 Nittos for 800.00 for 4-free shipping. I called the 800 number and spoke to "Ben". He sold me the (1) tire I needed at $200 (free shipping) delivered to my door two days later.
Best deal I have found and Discount Tire is *1 in customer service here in Phoenix,Az

I've been running the same pair of 555r's for 3 years now on back (about 7,000 miles) and I still have at least 50% of the thread left. I know MT's are good for the track but I've found out if you do a good 1-2 gear burn out on the Nitto's that they hook up great! I've pulled steady 1.90-1.92 60 foot times with my T/A weighing a little over 3800lbs. That's with me in it during the weigh in.

That was weighed at Milan Dragway on thier scale. The scale operator said it was very accurate. The nitrous kit with nearly a full bottle and my sub box that it is hid in adds about 65lbs.
Got to go, vacation time for me.
