Nitto 555R vs 450 Extreme

How well do the 450 Extremes hook in comparison to the 555Rs?

I was thinking of just running 450 Extremes on all 4 corners and ET streets at the track.

I had them, granted they were about 2 years on the car when I got them, but they don't really hook that well, the goodyears I replaced them with seem to hook MUCH better. Maybe they were old but it was scary when it rained.

On the other hand the treadwear on the 450 is incredible.

I had the 450's just a little while ago. I had no problems with mine, they seemed to hook-up fairly well (even better if you lower the air pressure), but the 555's are a lot more sticky than they were, and still have good treadwear.
