They're not 3 years or more old are they? Tires do get harder over time. I've run the regular 555s before, and same as you noticed push/plow, but was always fairly predictable IMO.

You can look at what others run for tires, see what works for them. Vehicle weight is a big factor, don't always go by the tires lighter cars are running.

The tires were new in December. I figure I will end up with about 5-6K miles on this car per year so if I need new tires every season.... I guess it's part of having fun. Unfortunately im probably going to have to go to a 40 series tire too. The only 45 series tire I can find in 245 and 275 in a Pirelli Pzero
