Yes, 555r is a drag radial. It's not the highest performing drag radial, but it's the friendliest one for a daily driver because if run into rain, you may not die.

 

There are alot of good tire choices out there. If you want maximum grip out of a street/track tire go with falken azenis rt615's.They are excellent both wet and dry.I just switched to these 1 mth ago coming from bridgestone potenza's and i am thoroughly impressed.

 

I use Kumho Ecsta SPTs and they are great for daily driving. I'd get something like the Bridgestone RE050A pole positions or Michelin PS2 (if they come in our size).

 

well bad news. my dad had to give them up because he saw some Falken's with a better warranty. but i don't know which ones he bought.

 

Ditto for me. They're a bit bumpy when the tires are cold, but other than that I can't find too much to complain about.

 

How are your new tires for road noise? Are they quieter than the OEM tires, such as the Bridgestone Potenza?

^^ actually don't have them any more, had to get Falkens. i think they are the 912 or something like that.
