When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

One question though... why the Nitto 555's? Aren't they basically drag tires?

my buddies over here recommended them to me, they stick pretty good and have a good treadwear rating of 300. I was gonna get toyo t1r but they cost more and hade a treadwear rating of just 280.

I think you were pertaining to the nitto 555R (for drag use). I have the nitto 555 only which is for street use.

Thanks for looking!

Looks clean...question though.


On the 3rd picture down (of the rear wheel) are you missing a bolt?

Ah, that must be it. I thought they only made the 555R... didn't know about a street version.
