-Nitto 555R
-BF Goodrich Drag Radial Comp T/A

(These are all DOT approved drag tires)

What are you looking to achieve?

Drag-strip performance? High performance street with no concern for mileage? race track use? Look cool for your bud's?

 

I can`t stand Nitto.

 

Yoko's cause I really can't stand the other two. But, like pfb asked, what are you trying to achieve?

 

What's wrong with the other two?

 

I want the tires to handle well on the drag strip, curves, and rain. How are the Yokos in the rain, anyone know?

 

There is obviously no competition, the Yokohama A032R stands up among the 3 described. Get the Yokohamas my friend.

 

Don't get the yoko's get the Toyo Proxes RA-1s, unless you plan to drag. Then get the drag tires.

The RA-1's are better matched to the handling of the s2k than the A032R's. Both tires are great products though.

 

I have Nitto's on my Bertone and love them; great handling, good rain traction and exceptional mileage. Plus, a great improvement on the ride over Pirellis or Yoko's.

I know nothing about Nitto's, had not even heard of them. I only got them because my Yokohama's only lasted 5K miles of easy driving and the dealer could find no other makes to fit on the car (couldn't get Pirelli's for some reason).

So, why do people seem to dislike them so for the S2k?
