Also, the Nittos are sponges compared to the Michelins, therefore they are a more cornering tire.

Drag radial vs summer tires for the streets
so i get Drag radials grip much better ..say like a 555RII would grip much better than best summer tires . but is that statement only true on the streets or only at the drag strip?

To my understanding DR is not good for cornering due to its side walls no?Also, the Nittos are sponges compared to the Michelins, therefore they are a more cornering tire.
Most DR's are not good at all for cornering, but the Nitto 555R2 is quite capable of cornering very well due to a stiffer sidewall.To my understanding DR is not good for cornering due to its side walls no?
Yes sir, between these and the Toyo 888Rs seems to be the best go to tiresMost DR's are not good at all for cornering, but the Nitto 555R2 is quite capable of cornering very well due to a stiffer sidewall.
Both are good but the R888R sounds like a monster truck tire.Yes sir, between these and the Toyo 888Rs seems to be the best go too tires
lol my exhaust will drown that I thinkBoth are good but the R888R sounds like a monster truck tire.
I wouldn't count it but your choice. The 555R2 is also better on wet roads.lol my exhaust will drown that I think
Better than... which? The R888Rs?I wouldn't count it but your choice. The 555R2 is also better on wet roads.
YesBetter than... which? The R888Rs?
The wet traction and cornering friendliness is what swayed my decision to run the 555 R IIs again.
Thry are perfect for on ramp blasts, and long sweeping highway bends.
And the grip is gluelike.
I’m a happy return customer 👍👍🏎🔥🔥💯😎

I might have to try them instead of my usual R888R summers this season.
Hey is your car lowered?I just recently had 555RIIs installed in 305/35/20 along with 285/35/20 555tG2s for the fronts; literally on Tuesday morning.
I have some suspension work and the Diablo suspension controller along with a McLeod RTX 1200 clutch and Barton short shifter.
Drag radials, I will never run anything else on the Cat. That grip lets you blast forward with unlost momentum, power and torque thrust with every shift.
The Michelin PS4S is a great highway tire, but very little else beats a DR for outright grip in the lower gears.
My PS4S didn't last at all, even driving reasonably easy. I'm going 555G2's next.
Yeah, I’m lowered on Eibach Pro kits along with some other suspension add-ons.Hey is your car lowered?
Thanks for responding you have the exact setup I’m am looking into going. This will make me more comfortable when I place my tire order. I have 20x11 22offset in the back, 20x9.5 15offset fronts. Also the Eibach prokit.Yeah, I’m lowered on Eibach Pro kits along with some other suspension add-ons.
Stock 9.5" wide wheels or something else ?I just recently had 555RIIs installed in 305/35/20 along with 285/35/20 555tG2s for the fronts; literally on Tuesday morning.
Fronts are the stock 9.5 wheels, rears are 11 in.Stock 9.5" wide wheels or something else ?
