Pohnjarker- the nitto 555 isn't a drag radial but the 555r is. It's the original nitto DR.

Sportlines.
Something to keep in mind though. Many people complain about about Nitto's not hooking well for them, but it's usually due to the owner not getting enough heat into them with a long burnout. The Nitto's are a slightly harder compound than say a MickeyThompson tire. They intentionally made them that way so that owners would get longer wear out of them on the street but they will DEAD HOOK with a proper burnout and air pressure.
The M/T's hook really well, but they don't last for shit. The rear quarters and the the rest of the underside of the car will be covered in rubber, if you don't wipe it off it will harden and it's a bitch to get off. Plus, they throw rocks like crazy and don't handle water well at all. A friend of mine wrecked his car driving on MT's because the city left the sprinklers on watering the street, spun out and hit the pole.
The MT's will work great though if you are running them for the track only on a extra set of wheels though. The last pair of MT's I had I broke an axle with them. lol.
