Ya those are the Nitto 555 RII's. Its a great track tire. Have had killer luck with them and how well they hook up and wear. Now lets see the bar I think you are talking about, the one behind the drivers seat. Thats a seat back brace. It's required for competition.

Well the one through the bumper I think you can figure out is a tow eye. The scoop under the bumper is to help deflect more air into the Radiator to keep it cool on longer runs, and yes it does work.

Have you run teh V710's yet? You will never run anything else after them. They are just scary fast.

I heard the wear one Kumhos isn't that great. So far, these Nitto's have been badass. No problems at all. They are very predictable, and I like that alot. We might try a full slick here in the near future, but we'll wait and see.

The Kumho's have twice the wear as teh Hoosier's. I even prefer the V700's over the Nitto's. I think they even last longer. I have had really bad luck with the Nitto's.

What issues have you seen with the Nittos? I've got 5 track days on a set and they're in absolute perfect shape. Still as sticky as the day I bought them and more than half the tread left. Please tell me more about the problems and your setup.
Thanks.

Gave up earlier than the Kumho's, They didn't like a lot of camber, didn't like the cold (took longer to heat up then the Kumho's), and and they didn't read as well as the Kumho's.
Setup was with 4 different Mustangs.. 3 were gutted race cars the 4th was a dual sport car..

About what tire pressure are you running on the Nitto 555r's at the track?
