Nitto NT555 G2 245/45ZR18

The Nitto Tire brand is synonymous with high quality when it comes to the tire world as each model they put out seems to rank as the best of the best. The Nitto NT555 G2 tires are no exception as they lead the charge in quality when it comes to ultra high performance summer tires.
With the performance driver in mind, Nitto Tire took their original NT555 and increased its traction by introducing larger tread blocks into the design of the Nitto NT555 G2. This increased traction will get you off the line quickly and will, as Nitto says, turn any street into a playground.
What Makes the Nitto NT555 G2 So Good?
The dual center ribs in the center of the tread improve driving on dry road conditions while enhancing overall stability of the ride. The design also has larger tapered blocks and circumferential grooves so that this beast of a tire can handle any corner you take whether that is on a dry or wet road. Water flies off the tire effortlessly with the help of the center and shoulder grooves.
What Makes the Nitto NT555 G2 Special?
The rubber used for this tire includes silica compound elements with a special bonding agent that increases the interaction between all the compound elements which results in a final product with higher compound rigidity to give this tire better handling while taking on corners in any condition.
What Sizes Does the Nitto NT555 G2 Come In?
These tires come in a wide selection of sizes for 17-22 inch wheels. The overall diameter of the tires range from 25 inches to just under 28 inches with widths between 9-12 inches.
Are Nitto NT555 G2 Tires Directional?
Yes. The tread was designed to be installed facing a specific direction in order to get the best traction on wet roads.
