Well here's my $.02

Installed these about a week ago on stock PP wheels.

Right off the bat noticed a lot more tramlining, roads here in town suck, so car almost continually wanders to the left. First thing I noticed the shop set pressure at 35#-37#s. I lowered it to 32#s cold, no difference in road manners, but at least they were all the same.
I went on a long extended road trip this weekend, that included freeway, fast curving roads with some real tight corners, and normal 2 lane highway. Tires were great on the freeway and 2 lane, quite, nice ride.
When pushed, you can tell the tires don't have as stiff a sidewall. The car is way more twitchy, like your driving on ball bearings. Straight line traction is good, maybe a little more steering wheel input.
Confidence is way down compared to the Pirellis, when entering a fast tight corner, don't know what to expect. Tires didn't loose traction, car is just way more unstable.
Maybe my opinion will change after I get used to them and put 12,000 miles on them, like the stock tire.

The Pirelli's are a good tire, just too expensive. They should be $100 cheaper per than MPSS and people would grow some respect for them. I like P Zeros, just couldn't justify them on my new rims and probably wouldn't use them again on my stock rims (well, that's because I'd get all seasons for those).

You running a staggered setup or square? I heard these same issues from people running different sizes or different brands from front to rear. Once on square setup tires ran much better, hope that helps.

No eta yet.

I got a member that will be running it on his with a pro kit. with the sportlines you'll need to adjust around -2 to -2.3 degrees negative camber that's it.

I've had these tires on for roughly 3k miles now. On the street I have zero complaints. The wet weather traction is much better than the p zeros. And spirited driving they feel great. Today I did my 1st track session in them and they squeal like hell in tight turns. The side wall felt very soft like others have mentioned. I'm running a square 275/35/20 set up. I will most likely look in to another tire when it's time for replacements.

The NT555G2 isnt in my opinion meant for track use at that point

MPSS
NT05
Etc.

However for a good all around tire the NT555G2 is def a good choice.

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.
