Hey Everyone
Just trying to decide my summer tires for the MM. It seems to be warming up here now and we really didn't get a winter so I need to get my winter setup off before too much longer.
Am trying to decide between the Nitto 555 Extreme and Cooper RS3A. I don't mind a wider tire but don't want the speedo off by much and want to keep the ratio correct. I can't find the Coopers available online so I will have to call around and see what I can find out.
We usually get a rainy spring so I need a good wet/dry tire and something preferably easy to steer/soft riding. I also am not looking to change tires every 10K miles...so longevity is more important than dry traction. I don't have any aftermarket mods so am not putting down crazy power and 'try' (key word try) to keep my foot out of it most of the time.
I know there is a member on here with a DTR that has the 555s that look amazing..
