Directional Tread Design for improved Cornering and Stability
Twin Center Rib Provides Durability and Performance
Designed for 1979-2020 Ford Mustangs
Description
NT555 G2. Does your high-powered Mustang ever feel loose or unstable during rapid acceleration or when taking a corner at speed? If so, it may not be your suspension, like you think, it could be your tires. Poor tire traction can greatly affect the handling performance of your Mustang. If you find yourself in this scenario you should invest in a set of Nitto's NT555 G2 Ultra High Performance Summer Tires. NT555 G2 Tires were engineered especially for spirited drivers that demand excellent traction in both wet and dry driving conditions.
Directional Tread Pattern. The Nitto NT555 G2 features multiple tread innovations that make it a best-in-class performance tire. Twin center ribs provide better dry traction and straight-line stability. Large tapered blocks increase grip and cornering stability, and circumferential grooves aid in water evacuation and wet handling.
High-Silica Compound. Nitto NT555 G2 Tires are made using a proprietary high-silica compound. Nitto uses a special bonding agent during their manufacturing process to increase the interaction between the base compound elements to further reinforce their chemical bonds. This specialized bonding agent helps create a tire with a higher compound stiffness which results in better cornering performance in both wet and dry conditions.
Application. The NITTO NT555 G2 Ultra High Performance Tire is designed for all 1979-2020 Ford Mustangs.
NOTE: This is a high-performance tire intended for use during summer months or warm temperatures only. Use during cold weather will greatly reduce performance, traction and handling, and greatly increase stopping distance. If using this tire in a drag or track environment during cold weather, we strongly recommend performing a pre-run burnout to nominalize the tread compound's temperature.
Have been using Nitto tires on my daily driver since 2007. Great traction on the streets for my 07 GT and hooks up well at the local drag strip. I run 255/50R17 and it fills out the wheel wells nicely with my 1" lowering kit. Treat these tires nicely and they will last!
After running G1 555's with satisfaction, I tried the G2's believing the newer generation would be better. Unfortunately the road noise is awful compared to the first generation they hum and growl at all speeds. Tried different tire pressure, re-mounting, balancing, etc with absolutely no change in the noise and awful road feel. These feel more like as if you are riding over grates at every speed and so noisy it competes with your radio. Should not be that way for a street tire.
So I bought a set of these Nittos and they perform very well! There certain roads where I live that if I accelerate just a little my car will spin, but not with these Nittos they grab onto the road!
I got them as a package with a set of wheels - the wheels are cool, but I'm not happy with the tires. So far, I've had the factory Pirelli PZero tires that came on the car which were bad, then I went through 2 sets of Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's which I liked a lot, these Nittos were replacing the Firestones. On warm dry days they perform ok, but still don't have a ton of grip... but they're alright. When the rain came, however, it was like I was driving on some overinflated, bald, bias-ply tires. I've never driven on such poor performing tires in the rain
They are a little sketchy in the rain in Miami. But the good part is that they telegraph that they are slipping a little.
Other than that they are very good tires.
Are these super sticky like a drag radial or comparable to the P zeros that came on my 2014 mustang? Thanks
The NITTO NT555 G2 Ultra High Performance Tire is a high performance summer tire, similar to a Pirelli P Zero tire, though offering more traction, and a world above the Pirelli P Zero Nero all season tire. These will not have the ultra soft, fast wearing compound of a drag radial.
The NITTO NT555 G2 Ultra High Performance Tire and the Sumitomo High Performance HTR Z III Tire will offer the lowest road noise of the tires we carry.
I would like a tire with a more beefy look. I currently have the Pzero 255/40/19 on my 2015 eco boost PP. I am curious as to what size would fit my wheel and give a nice and beefy look.
This would depend on what size your wheels are as well as other factors. Please reach out directly to our customer service department either by giving us a call at 1-877-887-1105 or by chatting in with our live support! We would be glad to help you!
Depending on the size wheel you have on your Mustang, you will be able to run the bigger tire size. Unfortunately, since we do not know yourexact wheel size, we are not able to confirm if it will fit. I would recommend calling or chatting in so we can discuss this, that way we can get you the correct information for your set up.
A 315/35R20 NITTO NT555 G2 Ultra High Performance Tire will require a wheel with a width between 10.5" and 12". A 10" wide wheel will be smaller than Nitto's approved safe wheel size.
With the NITTO NT555 G2 Ultra High Performance Tire for a 275/40R19 - Nitto suggests between a 9-11" wide wheel, so you should have no issues mounting the 275s to your 19x9 wheel.
