NITTO NT05 vs NITTO NT555G2

[NR_S550]

In the market for new high performance tires to put on my new Rohana RFX11 wheels. Stuck between the NT05 and NT555G2. Car is currently NA around 450ish to the wheels. Hasn't seen track time yet just some late night Mexico runs and some spirited back roads driving with the occasional launch from a dig. I've heard mixed reviews on both tires and am just trying to get a feel for what others are running. Thanks for the help!

Throw all that crap out the window and get NT555RII's. The RII's will hook great on an E85 tune (450 up to about 600HP), the others won't from a stop.

What about daily drivability on the RII's?

They are good for a daily. I have 7k miles on mine, alot of that I put on from a road trip from San Diego to Bradenton Florida, they still have life left and still hook ok, although o will be needing to replace them soon, also my negative rear camber doesn't help tire life.

Are those the RII's ?

I run my Rii's whenever the temps are in the 60s and above. They make for a good street tire thas great grip up to a point. I've driven them in heavy rain without an issue, of course I did slow down and put the car in weather mode, just in case
