That's the combo I have been running for several thousand miles. And that's what I'll stick with when it's time for new ones.

Hmmm...I wonder how those, with the Nitto 420s in the rear would be?

I need to bookmark this one, as my fronts are great, and will remain so thanks to revised alignment specs.

I just can't figure out how to make the rears last for very long. :burnout:

I run that setup and I love it! I just think the nittos area great tire and they are well "Balanced" for street/aggressive cornering and they also fill up the wheelwells with that big 295 out rear! GRRRRRrrrreat!

That's exactly how I roll. Nearly kept up with Shakes on a track day and without an SC and as a ROOKIE. I'm super happy with the 555 up front and 420 out back. It's safe and stable.

The 420 has the wet traction we need and the sidewall to support our weight hile the 555 over NO UNDERSTEER. The compound bites the pavement quite well when turning and is a great compliment to turn against our power.

I run 42 front and 42 rear on the street and 44 front and 30 rear at the track. Road course is 32 all around. Got 32K out of last set of rears and 37K out of the fronts. Yes K, not hundred.
