    the 555r is a totally different tire than the 404...the 555r is a drag radial, made for dry traction. they blow the 404 out of the water.

    or you can go to the mickey thompson drag radial which is what im using next.

    old mod list: H/C/I/N/E/G 408
    new mod list: 5.3, gears/posi, mufler and tune : (

    no need for caltracs unless you start getting wheel hop problems.

    if you really want some awesome street traction put on some 16" wheels and run a 28x10.5 mickey thompson et street.

    Well said Stew. Blownwhite03--listen to this guy. He knows what he's talking about.

    You might also wanna consider getting a 2.8 pulley. That would make things WAAAAAY more interesting...
