The Nitto NT555 G2 is a next-generation ultra high performance summer tire engineered for drivers of muscle cars, sports cars, and performance sedans who demand exceptional grip and handling. Featuring a directional tread design with advanced silica-reinforced compound technology, this tire delivers improved traction, handling, and wet-braking capabilities compared to the original NT555.
Key Performance Features:
- Large Tread Blocks: This 275mm width tire features enlarged tread blocks specifically designed to enhance traction for vehicles with staggered fitments and high horsepower applications, providing superior acceleration and grip
- Twin Center Ribs: Two solid circumferential ribs at the tire's center provide exceptional rigidity for straight-line stability during hard acceleration and braking
- Large Tapered Shoulder Blocks: Reinforced shoulder blocks increase grip capabilities and deliver confident cornering stability in both dry and wet conditions
- Four Circumferential Grooves: Wide grooves efficiently channel water away from the contact patch to lateral notches for excellent hydroplaning resistance and wet handling
- High Stiffness Silica Compound: Advanced bonding agents increase compound rigidity during cornering, resulting in superior handling capabilities in both wet and dry conditions

The directional tread pattern features 11/32" tread depth and must be installed in a specific orientation for optimal performance.
