I believe we had rear 315's on our 20" setup at the track that day with the G2.

Nothing that I have heard.

No response from steeda about these unlikely results?

Still want to know the answer to this. Its impossible for this tire to stop quicker in the wet than a R compound stops in the dry.

Hey guys, you can reference the Nitto braking portion of the video that someone posted earlier in the thread:

If you have any further questions, please reach out directly to Nitto.

I looked into it a bit more. Here is a quote from a different article:

While we didn’t get to experience its dry traction, suffice it to say that Nitto Tire performed plenty of dry testing on the tire. Using a stock 2014 Mustang GT, the NT555 G2 was .8 seconds quicker around the dry road course (101.7 versus 102.5 seconds). Likewise the company tested the G2’s dry braking using a stock, base 2015 Mustang GT on an asphalt surface. On average, the G2 out-braked the 555 by 1.54 feet (117.8 versus 119.34 feet).

The distances, in that article, seem to fit in with a non-R compound tire. Maybe svtperformance's test was up a steep hill or the testing equipment was off?

**edit**
Looks like I cant link to the article. You will just have to google the quote to find it I guess.

has anyone here tried these out yet on their GT PP? they offer only 3 sizes so far and it seems they are catering to OEM PP sizes.

they are very affordable for OEM sizes curious if anyone has tried these out comparing them to the Pzero. I also wonder if this particular tire is manufactured in Japan or China just because the prices are well under $200 per tire.
