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 1979-2017 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.

Will a 275/40 fit on my stock mach 1 wheels? I beleave they are 17x8, I only need the for the back, thanks.

  • A 275/40r17 will not fit on a 17x8 wheel. You will need between a 9" and 11" wide wheel.

Hi, i am planning to purchase 20" rims and i was wondering if i can put a 275/40r20 up front or also a 285/35r20 up front the rims are going to be 20x10 in the front thanks

Mustang16

  • That would depend on what year mustang you were planning on putting them on, and if the car is lowered at all. From our testing, we've found that only the 15-17 Mustangs can fit a 20x10 up front without modification.

Why don't you offer a 245-40-18 in the NT555 G2 ? I have always used the old Nitto N555 on 18x9 inch wheels and 285-35-18 on 18x10.5 inch wheels. I assume the G2's replaced the older N555

Jazzman

  • Nitto Performance has been slowly phasing out the NITTO NT555 with the NITTO NT555 G2 Ultra High Performance Tire, and we have been doing this as well. we are replacing all NT555 Offerings as Nitto stops production on that given size and fully replaces them with the NT555 G2. These tires will be replaced once the NT555 is completely phased out from Nitto's lineup in this size.

CarlD

  • With up to a 2 inch drop we can guarantee fitment for as large as a 305 in the rear and a 285 up front. Keep in mind a 19x8.5 can only go as big as a 275 and a 19x9.5 can go as large as a 285.

    Great Summer Tires!

    Bought these to pair with my 18" FR500 wheels. Great ride quality and very little road noise! Traction is great on dry surfaces, but struggles sometimes to find traction on wet/icy surfaces compared to the Nitto all-season tires I took off my Mach 1. Bought 275/35/18s for the front, and 285/35/18s for the rear.

    Got a staggered set of these for my Mustang and they are a solid tire upgrade over my previous set. Not only do they grip well, the tread pattern looks great too. If you're looking for new tires that will perform well in both wet and dry weather, definitely consider getting the NITTO G2.

    Unbelievable

    I purchased these tires (255/45/18) with a set of 18x9 AMR wheels. The grip and performance on dry pavement is absolutely tremendous and I haven't even driven them in temps above 70 degrees yet. What really impressed me the most was the wet traction though. About a week after install, I was caught on the interstate in a heavy thunderstorm (y'know, the kind that's bright red on the radar), and these tires didn't jump up on the water a bit. They stayed true and the car felt safe even at 70 mph. I would HIGHLY recommend purchasing these tires. You'll love them.

    Solid but still room for improvement

    These excel at dry traction and feel decent in corners. They are noticeably louder than the Michelin PS and give a little more in hard cornering. The tire does struggle in the wet but since LA doesn't see much rain so they are worth a try. They are visually a great tire. Still hard to beat the top brands like Michelin and Continental for summer performance tires.

    Grip the road!

    I have never had such a change of heart about tires. These tires could change my whole car into the mad gripping torque infused muscle car it was meant to be! This made my pony what it should have been this whole time. Setup is 275 up front and 315 rear (Staggered) and its a beast you will not regret this purchase. I know I sure dont! I am now a loyal Nitto fan and will pay the price for quality. Thank you so much for making my GT grip instead of slide!

    These tires are, as the title says, much better than Mickey Thompson's I had before. They have more treadlife and more grip in areas it's needed. This size doesn't rub either and fits my 18x9s just fine
