Yesterday, I played in the rain and the tires were up to the task ... certainly not as good as on dry roads but I felt safe even running triple digits. Especially considering the price the 555's are hard to beat ... I think I paid @ $750 for the set.

George,

I have the exact impression you have of the NT555s and I love them. From what I heard, anything is better than Sumitomos. After hearing about the drag radials from Dynomite (Cliff), I'm going with them for my Dymag wheels so I can hit the drags at Twin Ring Motegi later this year. There probably are better tires, but I'm sold on these right now and don't even want to try anything else. They are awesome so I'm excited to try the drag radials. I like them in the rain too and will be trying them out again since raining all weekend.
