The Nitto NT555 G2 is an exceptional ultra-high performance tire that combines next-generation technology with unmatched performance. It is a summer tire designed for sports car drivers who prioritize top-notch performance in dry driving conditions without compromising wet handling or ride comfort. Compared to its predecessor, the original Nitto NT555, the G2 offers improved wet and dry traction while maintaining a sleek modern style. It is built with advanced features to enhance performance, such as reinforced shoulder blocks for increased dry grip and responsive cornering control. The tire also features a silica-enhanced, high stiffness tread compound that ensures exceptional handling in both wet and dry conditions. Key performance attributes of the Nitto NT555 G2 include commanding dry traction and straight-line stability achieved through wide twin center ribs. Additionally, the tire boasts large tapered tread blocks that further enhance dry traction and provide stability during tight cornering maneuvers. It also delivers dependable handling, braking, and acceleration in wet conditions thanks to the presence of four wide circumferential grooves that rapidly expel water from the contact patch. For section width sizes of 275mm and wider, larger tread blocks are employed to provide enhanced hook-up for staggered vehicles. In addition to its impressive performance, the Nitto NT555 G2 offers long-lasting treadwear. It boasts a segment-leading UTQG treadwear grade of 320 for W-speed rated tires and a UTQG treadwear grade of 200 for all other speed ratings. To ensure uninterrupted performance, it is recommended to opt for Discount Tire's exclusive Certificates, which offer coverage for the tires down to 3/32” of wear. With the Certificate coverage, customers can have peace of mind knowing that they are protected in the event of a blowout, with a brand new replacement NT555 G2 provided. For those looking to enhance the performance of their muscle cars, tuners, or any high-performance vehicle, the Nitto NT555 G2 is a top choice.
