Description
Nitto NT555 G2
The Nitto NT555 G2 is an ultra-high performance summer tire designed for drivers of modern high-performance vehicles, engineered for increased traction, handling, and wet-braking capabilities. Its cornering performance is enhanced by large, tapered tread blocks that increase stability and grip. For straight-line stability and improved dry traction, the design features twin center ribs. The tire’s high stiffness and silica compound, along with reinforced shoulder treadblocks, further improve handling in both wet and dry conditions, while a large circumferential groove aids in hydroplaning resistance.
- Large Tread Blocks: The large, tapered tread blocks increase grip and provide stability for better cornering.
- Twin Center Ribs: These increase dry traction and provide straight-line stability.
- Tapered Blocks: The design of the tapered blocks increases cornering stability and reduces tread flex.
- Center Groove: A large circumferential groove aids in wet handling and hydroplaning resistance.
- Reinforced Shoulder Treadblocks: These improve grip and handling during cornering.
- High Stiffness and Silica Compound: A special bonding agent increases the interaction between all the compound elements to yield high stiffness for better handling.
