Do you have the nitto 555r's on your stock 18" wheels?

what size of tires are you getting for the Nitto 555r's? I cant find any that would fit my HRE 19" wheels or the stock 18's.

I'm on Nitto NT05 right now and I'm very happy with my decision. These tires just hook up so much better than the stock Pirelli rubber.

NT05's are awesome, you just have to get some heat in them for them to realllyyy stick...

I have the star spec's on my STi...awesome tires. I figured id go with those for my new rears, but have also been looking at these.

Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08

Any experience on rear traction with these compared to the dunlops?

I think you'd have a hard time going wrong with any Extreme performance summer tires...

How are those MT street radials in the handling department? I don't want to give up to much, I'm guessing the nt05s are the best of both.
