Do Nitto NT555 tires last long?
I want to order these tires for the car and I'm wondering if they last long (i.e. have good tread wear and longevity).
I'd like decent grip, but tread wear and long lasting is my main priority.
Thanks!

I have them on my S. Fronts are still going strong after 10K, including a couple of autocrosses, and 1 open track day.
Rears are smoke, but then again, I am not stock, LOL
So in a word YES

Yes they last, I have them on the front and back for daily driving but also have a set of NT05, for spirited encounters. The nt05, do not last long but traction is a lot better.

I ordered a set of Nitto Invos for all four corners. I'll post results when I get them mounted on the car... I've heard great things they last long and about their dry grip, wet performance, and they're quiet.

I had NT555's on both of the mustangs I have owned. The tires would last 15k miles (rears) and hooked well on the street. This was a staggered setup so no tire rotation.

I have had great success with Nitto Invo's. Been running them for 2 years now, been through 2 front pairs and 3 rear pairs and covered 70,000kms (approx 44k miles)

I haven't tried them on the E yet, but i have had them on other cars and I found they lasted reasonably long.
Traction was good, but I found them to give very little warning when they break traction on hard fast turns.

I've put 18k miles on mine since I bought the car and I don't know how many miles were on them before that. I'm happy with them and they still have good tread left. I'm not big on smokey burn outs but I give them a workout in the corners.

I've had the same set on my car since 2005. Now I've only put about 8-9k on them but I ran them at the strip for 3yrs. I managed 1.81 60' when I was stock. On the 275/30/19 the sidewall is too stiff to assist with good launches when compared to a PS2 or R888 type of tires, but they are a 300 tread wear and they have a good looking sidewall.
