That 555R is pretty worn down. Don't drive the NT05-R in rain, they are horrible when wet.

I got about 9K out of my 555Rs (with a bunch of trips to the track), but mine are now practically slicks. I have no tread left down the middle. I go super slow when it starts raining.
I've got another set in the garage just waiting to go on. I've just been too lazy to get it done.

I went with the 555Rs again, because the rainy season starts in June in my area (and we get thunderstorms pretty much everyday). The 555Rs work quite well in the rain when they're still fairly new.

I might try the NT05Rs next winter (0ct - March) which is our dry season. We don't get much rain at all during those months.

Be careful, as Nineball mentioned, those NT05Rs can be scary in the rain. A forum member told me his car starts hydroplaning at about 40-45 mph with them.

Roads dried off so he took it out and they do not spin, sweet. Grab feeling, like there are digging into the ground.

I keep reading that but that has to be with tons of burn outs. I won't be going to the track that often.
