Message	in terms of dry grip performance. Not sure how stiff the sidewalls of 555r, but I have seen plenty of high horswpower weekend cars run around with them. I have also seen auto-cross people run Hankook RS2 with excellent results, so it depends what you are after. If you buy the drag radials, the 6/32nds could mean driving in the rain will not be ideal.
