Default is anyone interested in a 285/50 18 Nitto 555R?

just wandering who would be interested. nobody has a competition tire for us 18" wheel guys...nitto has the 305/45 18's but you need a 9.5-10" wheel to put them on. would you be interested?

I need something similar to that size for my 18" Nissan Titan rims. I think those may be a little big though for a 4/7 drop

I am very interested! I run a 285/50-18 Nitto 404 on my 18" Centerlines and I am looking for something new. More traction is always good!

I need new tires bad, hint my sig pic!

HAHA! That was me just messing around in a Hooters parking lot!

So... are we trying to build up enough interest or what? Even the regular 555 will be fine with me, since I run MT ET streets at the track.

im trying to see if theres any interest. i figure the lightning guys could use them too but they can fit the 305/45 18 which is the only factory wheel that can fit that tire....and alot of them dont even need a tire that big. especially a tire as soft as a 555r.

im talking to someone over there but they are wanting to see what kind of interest there is out there. i know theres alot of guys runnin the 285/50 18 tires with traction probs because the lowest utag rating for that size tire is around 420

dont the titans sit up pretty high? im using this size on my 3/5 drop and have plenty fender space showin from what i hear these tires hook great on the street. im wanting to get my truck to where i can just drive it off of the street right up to the staging lanes without changing tires.
