Im very impressed with them as street tires. I feel they handle better than f1's and stick so much better I will never buy stock tires again. They are z rated and my best mod to date. Have not tracked them.

Re: Nitto 555RII (Z06ufgrad2002)
I recently saw this posted on another forum about them:
4. Some of you guys were warning me that these tires would suck in the rain, I was prepared for the worst, and sure enough I got stuck driving home in a pretty hard rain the other night -- I gotta tell you guys, they are FINE in the rain. Once I realized this I found myself driving much faster in the rain than I ever did on my F1's. 70-80 hwy car was planted no hydroplaning. Of course these are brand spankin new tires - I'm sure as they start to wear rain performance may diminish. But right now I am totally confident in the rain. You still cant really step on the gas too hard on a wet road, of course, but I couldnt do that on my F1's either.

I drove home in the rain last night. Although I was very careful they didn't seem any worse than stock tires. I think there so new that people haven't tested them on the track yet.
