Not Ranked
I have Nitto 555 drag radials, recently I noted a hitch in the giddy up on the right front side of the car. Went into Discount tire in Surprise and he looked at the manufacture date (2004) stamped on the tire and would not rebalance them. He made me promise him that I would not take the car to any high speed (he didn't define high speed) He said the oils in the tires as the years go by dry up from the inside out and weakens them considerably. Car has 5000 miles so tires have plenty of tread. I took it to a couple other tire centers and without leading them into the subject they all rejected any involvement with them. I took them to Fletchers over by Sun City West and they balanced them. As there are only a few weeks left of driving I've opted to wait until the fall to replace the tires. I will definitely purchase NITTO 555's
