Trying to keep it uniform as its a staggered set. Don`t really want to run drags in the front so what is everyone else running in the front? I was just thinking a all season tire as I don`t track it, just drive it on the streets in good weather. Tires now are Toyo Proxies 255 30 20 on 9.5" rims. I guess I should by Nitto`s of some kind for the front.
Thanks, Mark

Nitto 555g2 should be the front match for the 555r rears. Do you have NT555R or RII?

I have the NT555R`s. Just looking for good traction on the front for wet or dry. The back end I can handle if it swings out.

I’ll second that. Decent performance tire. Price is right. Or if you want to go a little more high end. Maybe a Michelin tire.

I'm running the Nitto NT555R in the rear (305/35/19) and the Firestone Firehawk (285/35/19) up front. I needed 1 tire up front immediately and couldn't get the Nittos. I know some will say to run the same front and rear, I don't track or drag my car and haven't noticed any difference after replacing them. I'll probably go back to Nitto when I need new fronts next.
