I had 555Rs on the back of my car for about 6 years, no issues. I now have NT05s on front and back and love them, they stick like glue!

Have had them on my vette, and had the all terrains on my old truck. Never had an issue with them. They are great tires

555's on all corners. Got 15k on em with no problems so far, good wear. I've been going to track days more and more, so will probably go with NT05s' when these wear out.

Also, one of the few that have the size to fit the 11" rears.

On my 3rd set of 555's on the Coupe, topped 40K on the first 2 sets. Quiet, great grip in the wet and dry. No regrets.

On my '10 GS, went from the OEM GY's, to the Michelin Pilot Sports, to a set of Nitto Invo's. The Nitto's run the best to me, very happy with them.

Running the 555's on the rear and love them - best wearing set so far of 3, quiet, super sticky. Time for new fronts and I am planning to go with Nitto again.

"Warranty"

Tire warranties are a bigger joke than undercoating.

None of their performance tires have a warranty.
