nitto 555 vs neo gen
so i need new tires before zdayz and ive decided to try something new.
my camber right now is eh: -2f -1.6r
the neo gens are designed for negative camber cars. treadware is 280 vs 300 on the 555s. so far im averaging about 16k miles on my t1-r's.
so do i skip the camber kit and try out the neo gens? or get a camber kit and stick with the 555s? or just get new t1-r's?
i figure i can always get the camber kit and 555s later if the neo gens are crap, but from what i see they look pretty good.

the neo gens have a 280 tread rating, but you cant flip em. The 555's have a 300 tread rating, but you can flip them after one side is pretty worn out (2-3/32nds) and have almost fresh tread on the other side (8-9/32nds)... you do the math.

ya i flipped the fronts recently. about 28k miles on them so the new outsides are really worn but the rest of the tire is fine. first rears i got 18k miles and these are at the wear bars at 16k miles. only been lowered about 4k miles though. guess i just want to try something new but it will probably be which i can get cheaper. do you have a preference between the t1-r's and 555s?
pft you know ill always have something to wonder about. i think the main problem is i always want something new which is why im thinking about trying the 555s. chuck likes his right?

555's are blah.. theyre good tired for the price you pay but i think the t1r's grip better and ride smoother... i had the 555's on my stock 18's and the t1R's on my 19's and ride quality was about the same.. of course larger rims usually result in a loss of ride quality but changing the tires kept the quality about the same so from my experience the t1R's were better
