There black and round...


Got some pals in the states who have been using them for a few years on the strip and find them very grippy but they don't last that long,if that helps?Not sure how good they are in the wet as they all live in Dallas and don't see much rain.

I used the 555R's for racing a few years back. Fairly decent tyres.

But do remember....most, if not all of the US tyres are not E-marked, so strictly speaking not at all legal for road use in the UK.

these tyres are brand new, they are only just out in the states, so maybe your thinking of the old version. Ive been chatting to a few US viper guys who had a few runs on them

they look similar to the the Toyos, but the nittos are available in 19" viper sizes unlike the toyos (i think)
