NT555G2s are bleh. No contest here.

MPS4S, Conti ECS/2, or Indy 500. There's no reason to go cheaper than Indy 500s.

MPS4S are the best.

Also the most expensive.

I have NT555 G2s on my LMR wheels. Bleh is a kind way to describe them. I've been running Michelin on my M3 for 2 decades, and MPS4S since they came out in 2016. While I may give Contis a shot on my Mach 1, I won't be going with the Nittos ever again.

😂😂 I need to change my question Michelin or continental since everyone seems to say nitto isn’t the greatest

my car has the Nittos and when I picked it up in October they were meh but I put it down to the colder temperatures in the fall and winter... now it's warmer and.. still meh. I'll be wearing them out and replacing them with something that grips a little better. And to confirm, my GT is totally stock, i'm not asking for too much from a tire.

Same here. Nittos are terrible especially in the rain. The Continental and Michelin are both good. I can't wait til I wear out the Nittos. Kinda been helping them along by matting the throttle every take off and spinning the crap outta them lol...

The Nitto 555g2 should only be used on the front and when matched with the 555rii drag radials on the rear. I have this as my summer setup. I have the Conti ExtremeSport 02 on for the rest of the year on another set of wheels.

The rii is considered one of the best drag tires for the street. It is the g2 that absolutely sucks when used on all 4 corners.
