I haven't heard much about them Kevin so its a shot in the dark. I figure they cant be any worse than the 555's I have on there now. They had to order them from the west coast because no one on the east had them. I will know in a few weeks how well they work. I know I don't want to get stuck in a down pour with them.

I have been thinking about getting these too. Let us know what you think of them when installed and tested.

I don't think you are going to find any tires that are going to hold all the hp you are putting down

If Rogers beast can grab the road, then I will be good.

I have been reading some good reviews on these tires. Guys with Rogers HP range are hooking in first gear, amazing.

I am not sure of the cost but two NT05R's and two 555r II's for the front will cost me about a grand.
