Performance Tire of my lowered Camaro

I need to buy new tires for my Camaro, I have the 1 inch BMR lowering springs, and was looking at Nitto tires (555r, or the NT05s). But I'm not sure what the best size is or if I there is a better street strip tire out there. I did a search and didn't really come up with any solid information.

Thank you,

Brandon

Really depends on what you want. The nt05r will hook way better than the 555 but will have terrible tread life and will be dangerous to drive in the rain. The 555r will be a lot better for the street but wont hook as well
