nt01s are more of a road race tire, out of what you said the 555 will be much better for a drag setup. BFG's are better than both though.

I pull consistant mid 1.5's on mine all day long and again have pulled a personal best of 1.52 on a car that weighs 3330 with me in it.
The Nitto's have to hard of a sidewall still IMO and you will get wheel hop.

+1000, I have seen and had this happen to me on more than just 1 car. Nittos suck

The Nittos SUCK! Ask Trent at Buschur and he'll go with the BFGs also. Ask VWJeff about his nittos and the track rental! lol Rear diff go boom!
As for the other tires you are talking about, they are all hard sidewall road racing slicks, not drag. They will lead to you buying T-cases and rear diffs from wheel hop! Your better with a set of snow tires than the re01r, Star Specs, or the NT-01.
|
again, nitto's suck 
I would recommend some all season tires. they launch fairly well and don't wear that quickly

So i guess the BFG T/A seems to be better for drag racing than the nt555?
is 225/45/17 the size for stock IX rims?

I have to agree with the rear diff going boom. I had these Nittos on my car on my evo and now I have drive trann probs. rear diff and T-case. And this was from one night at the strip. Go with the BFG's.

also another thing to mention about road race tires other then the stiff sidewall is that they are of harder compound and need heat.not the typical evo dry hop but more like a lap or so.i pulled 1.7s with kuhmo all seasons.BFG definately way to go nittos are diff tcase eaters.

1k with bfg's with an srt-4? **** man I daily drove those things when I had my neon on and off for 5 months going to the track about 4 times a month. 125 trap car and i would say i got about 10k on them really pushing it. i think they were 225/55/15. maybe 225/50 i don't remember. He should probably be able to get 15k easy with an evo. i loved mine. I would run 12psi and get consistant 1.8-1.7 60's.
If you're going to get the bfg's theres a way to break them in so they act like a slick and absorb the shock from launching. When you get them only run about 6 psi in all four and drive real slow for a few miles. This stretches out the side walls so they wrinkle when you launch. Some people disagree with me on this, but I've had good results doing this and it doesnt hurt anything so take it for what its worth to you.

Go with BFG's. I had the 555R's and didn't have much luck with them. Sidewall is too hard.

255/35/18 T1R's Pulled consistant 1.62's and 1.63's. I really get this feeling some people need to learn to drive. Pulling anything slower then a 1.60 on sticky tires is completely unacceptable in my book.
Back to basic people. Learn to drive better. 
Just to note, I did get a 1.68 that day, was checking how hard I could hit the clutch on launch, little much and got some chatter from the tires. Very little, went back to a touch more time on full release.
Lets get real, some people will never be able to drive. They just do not connect correctly with the car to run consistently good shirt times.

I agree with ya!
I've pulled a 1.62 on my OEM Yokohamas and a 1.52 on my bfg drag radials.
