Today I slapped on a set of 245/40/18 nt555 i was wondering if anyone had some input on these. Mostly daily drive my car and I'm going to do the alignment Sunday. What should I be expecting?

Compared to the stock Advan, the NT555 will have less grip and a softer sidewall. Others have said NT555s aren't anything special. They're an older design and were never well regarded by enthusiasts, outside of people who didn't want/couldn't afford NT-05s, and really, really wanted a Nitto.
They're junk.
Never heard anything good about them but for daily driving fuck it.
yep. Not really good for canyons, and would probably be a bit of the bummer on the track but they are actually pretty smooth for daily duty. I had a set of these on my civic and it actually softened up the harshess of my coils, so that was good...but they would SCREAM in the canyons around corners. ...they definitely tell you what they are doing, which I have heard is actually a good thing when you are learning to drive at the limit. I have ran 2 sets of NT05s at the track on my old EVO and I can say they were noticably stiffer and grippier but similarly squealy.Originally Posted by LakaiorDie
get rid of them spend a few extra cash for some hankooks
RS3s are definitely a step up from NT05s even...but maybe not the new NT05s about to drop with a lower treadwear. The new NT05s are kind of between the old compound and the NT01s, so they should be like the RS3s, lol. This shit is confusing.
I see my stubborn a$$ should have just waited i got them cause I really wanted nittos. I got them for 1100 from rent a wheel m doing payments of about 200 every two weeks
Haven't replied back to me :'(
