Just looked at this tire on Nitto's site. It is advertised as a drag radial. I know some folks run the M/T drag radials on all 4 corners, but I am not at all comfortable with that idea. Also, the NT555R is a modern low profile tire. Not the classic tall sidewall period correct look of the Billboard or Avon. Not saying the Nitto's don't work well for you, but not what I would be looking for in a "Cobra" high performance tire.
