Nitto NT555 G2

They're not on the website but I called discount tire direct and they were able to special order them for me.

They were $276 each but since i ordered them in conjunction with 285/35s for the front i got a $40 instant rebate and a $70 mail-in rebate. All told I got the set of 4 for $938 shipped.

prob dumb question but i'm gonna ask: Would those specs fit a regular GT PP wheel? When i replaced my wheels i went with the same size wheel so i could put the P-zeros on them. Or would this only work on a wider wheel like a 10-11?

Yes members are using 305 rears on the factory PP 9.5 without issues.

Went with 275/40/19 and 285/35/19. Front are nice and flush with my BMR springs, didn't realize how much gap I would have going down to a 35 in the back.

Very nice.

You don't mind the gap in the back?

I've used this tire now in the wet quite a bit and it has really good wet traction. Very very impressed.

I had mine put on last weekend, and have been battling TPMS and inflation issues ever since. I have it all down to one problem tire, and we're going to dismount and remount it this weekend... then I get to test them a little. Definitely less off the line grip than the NT05, but not by a whole ton.

Just got some 305 30 20 rears, they out grip stock tires and my old 305 35 20 mt street comps out the hole. I will give em more time, but right now the sidewall feels a tad soft. Under full acceleration over 100 mph the car is squirrelly to the point I get nervous and lift. I will say I have mt street comps on the front still, and I have cjpp lowering springs that my local shop said did not take my front or rear out of alignment I think they are clueless) I have some bc coilovers on the way, will update when I get the suspension sorted out. They really need a 305 35 20 option, although I think the taller sidewall would make my issues worse. How stiff is the sidewall on the mpss?

I had the same issue. I went from NTO5's to the G2. Once I swapped the fronts to match the backs it fixes the issue. Now I have all 4 G2's. For some reason they do not work well at all when mixed front to back.

You always need to keep in mind tread design and treadwear if their off to much you tend to have issues.

How do the g2 compare to the nt05?

 

[Mikeg4572]

The G2's are more quiet. They seem like a great street tire. They dont take as long to warm up as the NtO5's The sidewalls are a little softer, but thats not a bad thing. Straight line acceleration is excellent. The NTO5's handled better in the corners but only lasted 8-9k miles. I am happy with the G2's, much better than the Stock tires.

NT05 tires are more of a pure performance tire the G2 is a more all around performer.
