Better than most. Discount tire carries the brands Tirerack doesn't. I use them both.

Suck it up and get the damn NT05's. You will probably wear them most of the way out in 1 year of DD with a few track passes but they will hook better than most anything without a drag radial label. Nittos run really narrow. My 285 555's were nearly an inch narrower than 275 Firestone wide ovals. I know their 315 555R drag radial actually measures the same as a 295 Goodyear. What are your rim widths? If you go to a 305/35/18 the 555R drag radial and the NT-01 are available.

I put way to many miles on the car, the rears would be dead after a couple months. I was just going to get wide ovals, but they don't make a 295 anymore. I'm pretty well between Super Sports and invos right now. I'm probably going to have to buy another set of rims/tires with radials on them for the track.

Some of my friends got 20k miles out of 555R's on F-bodies with a couple track passes. It has a lot to do with how you drive it.

This lol. It's not like you're going to find anything drastically better than mentioned already. Stop driving like you're in fast and furious and maybe they will last you more than a few months lol.

Interesting. Gen 5 meets Gen 1 meets C7 vette. I'm sure it will look good with the right stance and wheels. Remember how bad everyone hated the C7 rear end before it came out? It looks normal now.

yeah definitely. I'm just hoping they don't do what ford did to the front end of the mustang. The body lines look pretty nice, can't wait to see the car in a color other than black.

The spy shots looked pretty aggressive but not too crazy.
