    I think I'm gonna go with those new Nitto NT05s. They look great. Looks like it would handle better in the rain the DRs. I wonder if some 315-35-17's would fit well on my C5 wheels that currently have 275s? I'm looking to get some new tires this summer.

    I've never had an issue with the 555R's in rain.

    Only tires ive ever seen get sketchy in rain are M/T radials and ET streets

    since 315's are pretty much the max you can run on a 9.5" rim, what is the average size tire that someone puts on the 9.5" rim.

    275/40/17???

    yup. some run 285/40/17, but 275/40/17 is the recommended/most common.

    I just mounted my 315 Nitto DRs on 9.5 ZR1s and they fit fine. They do bulge out some but I still feel safe driving around on them. We will see how well they do at the Shootout.
