    275/40/17 Nitto 555R's - Need Advice

    Few questions if I may;

    1) With the above tires on centerline rims, what pressures are folks finding leads to the best hook-up?

    2) How much effort does it take to put sufficient heat into them to achieve the best hook-up?

    3) Are folks using the water to start, or driving around with these Nitto's?

    Thanks in advance

    I ran the nitto DR's at 20psi, No less though due to the stiff sidewall.
    These take some good heat to work best, but don't worry they wear well also.(cook them)
    With or without water, really dosen't matter if you roast them! The water box can help get them both spinning though.
