The Nitto NT555 G2: next-generation technology plus next-level performance equals one of the best ultra-high performance tyres available.

Nitto NT555 G2 Tyres

When the original Nitto NT555 rose to popularity in the ‘90s, it did so in large part because its performance backed up its aggressive look. Building on that foundation, the Nitto NT555 G2 tire is a summer tire for the modern sports car driver who wants breakneck performance in dry driving conditions without compromising wet handling or ride comfort.

Compared to the original NT555, the G2 lays down increased wet and dry traction combined with the contemporary street style to bring your sports coupe, high-powered sedan or muscle car into the modern age of performance.

With a street car legacy to maintain, the NT555 G2 is loaded with advanced features to help drivers upgrade their performance. For relentless dry grip and responsive cornering control, NT555 G2 tyres are engineered with reinforced shoulder blocks. They also feature a silica-enhanced, high stiffness tread compound, maintaining rigidity for stellar handling in wet and dry conditions.

Other performance features of the Nitto NT555 G2 include:

• Commanding dry traction and straight-line stability via wide twin center ribs.
• Large tapered tread blocks further enhance dry traction and provide stability for incredible confidence during tight cornering maneuvers.
• Dependable handling, braking and acceleration performance in wet conditions provided by four wide circumferential grooves that rapidly expel water from the contact patch.
• Section width sizes 275mm and wider feature larger tread blocks, providing even more hook-up for staggered vehicles.

Nitto NT555 G2 Treadwear and Warranty

Yes, installing Nitto NT555 G2 tyres offer powerful ultra-high performance traction. But they also provide long-lasting treadwear. That’s because the NT555 G2 comes with a segment-leading UTQG treadwear grade of 320 for W-speed rated tyres and a UTQG treadwear grade of 200 for all other speed ratings.
