New Nitto drag radial released NT555R2

[Ghost50]

I believe I am going to give these a shot on my car. I want to try them out and see how they are vs using a bias ply.

@Discount Tire would you be able to provide me a quote on two 305/35x20's please?

Taking your word for it LOL. What PSI were you running?

Reporting back with more use on these. Super impressed! Car is now on E85 14psi. Went out to Mexico yesterday with a bunch of friends and these hooked 100% on 2nd gear rolls.

Even had a dig race against a 650hp 427 C6 and whacked his ass. Had to pedal in 1st, but they still did very well. Spin was easy to control.

Still have one more pulley size to go down, but Im betting these tires will handle it no problem.

@Ghost50 PM sent. If you are looking for a quiet streetable Drag radial that will deliver decent wet traction along with a better launch than the NT05R, I would certainly recommend giving them a try. We have been hearing great feedback.

As long as you don't run them in cold weather, they are fine for daily driving.

98% of the winter mine is not driven at all. I try to put 2 miles a month on in winter when nice to prevent flat spotting.

Im still extremely happy with these especially since mine are 305/30 with not much sidewall. Ive been leaving them at 27psi cold.

That’s impressive! I ran my MT ET/SS @ 18psI to hook 2nd w/820 wheel.

Anyone tested them to see how they handle taking hard turns?

I definitely notice a loser rearend with these tires compared to the Gen 1 555r

As in less lateral traction?

Not traction. Just that the sidewall is softer now for more straight line traction. Anytime you do that, the rear is going to follow slower and move a little more. So when I go into a turn, the rearend does not immediately follow the rest of the car.

Got the 555R2s installed today. Love the ride... gotta be the best riding drag radial ever. Sticks like nobody's business. Great tire...

Received mine today, they look awesome. Hopefully will get them on the car in a few weeks to try them out.

Have you tried going WOT from a stop in track or drag mode with adv track disabled? If so, how was the 1-2 shift?
