NITTO 555 G2

[Houston Kid]

Who's running them and what are you thoughts? How many miles are they lasting?

Guess I should have asked before getting them but better late than never I guess.

Great tire on anything but wet pavement

Much better options out there. Firehawk Indy 500, Conti ExtremeContact sport, PSS, PS4S, even BFG Comp 2.

I use them on my Paxton supercharged GT (315/35's in the rear)

I like them for daily driver use. I've had Firehawk Indy 500, Michelin MPSS, Conti Extreme, and 2 sets of Nitto G2's on this car.

I had them on my C6 Vette and I loved them.

Hooked well for being a street tire, seemed to have decent tread wear, and no issues with bad weather driving.

For the price their amazing and they are our best tire seller for our clients.

I have them, 285/19 and 305/19 on 10s and 11s. Great tires on both street and track. 65 laps on a very twisty, rough, worn track wore 1mm of tread off and there were no weird wear patterns or chunking. Very predictable tire with no bad habits. I'm going with a more track focused tire and wheel combination for track use this year, but these tires will stay on the car on the street. Great value for the money.

I drive to the limit of the tire, once you exceed that by more than 1 or 2% and start sliding a tire around a lot you're going to destroy it, no matter whose tire it is.

Love mine. I noticed in wet weather they hook a little better the longer you drive in rain. On the 1/4 mile they dont do well. Havent tried them on road coarse but on the steet they hook great cornering. Going to try out the hoosier s7s but those will be my track tires only on gt350 wheels. They better do good for the money. One of those almost cost the same as two of my nittos. Lol.

Personally I feel like my factory Pirelli all season tires performed better.

No way. IMO Tho

How..mine are absolute garbage in anything but warm dry conditions. Scary in the wet...and for an AS tire if it even looks like snow they slide.

This is the first time I ever heard anybody make this statement. But hey, everybody has their own opinion. I had the G2's and liked them quite a bit. The Pirelli's were just barely a step above that slimy stuff that covers the bottom of the inside of a dumpster. They sucked that bad I got rid of them WAY before they got the chance to be worn out.

Got rid of the crap Pirelli tires after 2k miles.
Had Conti extreme contact, really mushy in the corners, got rid of them after 1k miles.
I now have the Michelin MPSS, excellent tire all around for me but I don't drive in bad winter weather.

IMO on a wet road they are slippery as duck shit. They are good on dry pavement though. Not sure if 305 rear size affects wet performance.

I have them on my full bolt on 15. I find 5hem to be a very good wet or dry high performance tire.
