Good, so if you want your car to handle good and don't care for that little "extra" straight line traction, don't get the Nitto 555Rs.

Well, they don't make 555R's in the sizes DSMs can use anyways so you can't get them if you wanted to. The contact patch of the tire was pretty nice and plenty though.
Who said I would need stock DSM sized tires? [/b][/quote]
They don't make ANY that fit ANY dsm applicated wheel sizes in 15(205/50/15), 16 (205/40/16's), 17 ( like 255's or 275's which are wayy too wide) or 18s. BFG has some usuable ones and M/T (235/60/15) are coming out with some good 15 inch'd sized ones, and... there's the Toyo RA-1s that I saw AMS use on their Evo3 that ran 9.7's. Good enough proof of traction for me if it worked for that car's launching(when he had good launches). All the available DR's for DSM sized applications are ~$150+ a tire now.
