Nitto 555r?
It says "Extreme" on the side... doesn't that mean that I DIDN'T get the strictly drag Nitto 555r's? Because that would suck and I would be extremely pissed.

Re: Nitto 555r?
The drag radials are "extreme" series too. You probably got the right ones.

Oh... because its a LITTLE snowy out but not much on the roads. But the TIRES ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SLIPPERY. Worse then the bald ones on before?

This is true, they don't like ice or snow at all. Keep looking the sidewall of the tire, it should say 555R on it.

Yeah I have 315 555r's and they are really bad in the snow. They were made for dry pavement drag racing, defiantly not snow driving. That and our cars are kinda light in the back.
