Uhhg, are they hubcentric? Do you get vibration at about 90 or when braking hard?

No not hubcentric, fastest I've gotten is about 85 and haven't braked hard yet....but It drives so far the same as without spaces, but I will have to hit a 100 and brake hard to see what it does.

You went with 555's? I thought everyone knew by now that these are one of the WORST so-called high-perf tires out there.

I've owned and driven on most of the high-performance tires out there in daily driving and racing use. Nitto 555's are garbage. Soft sidewalls that roll in hard cornering, average-at-most grip in the dry, and death in the rain. Tons of others with experience, agree.

Don't take it personally, you didn't make the tires. You just weren't properly informed prior to buying them, and I feel for you.

Plenty of great choices out there in many price ranges. Depends on what you need. Stuff like Michelin PS2, Advan Sport, BFG KDW2, Toyo T1R, Falken FK452, Goodyear F1 GS-D3, Dunlop SP900 to name a few of the ones I liked for various reasons for various applications and sizes. Ones that sucked include the Nitto 555, General Exclaim UHP, Potenza RE92, etc...
