Nitto 555G2 tires

I have had them for about 4 years. Mine get flat spots when it sits a while. The flat spots disappear when you take it on the highway, but it is about a 15 minute drive to the highway and the car vibrates on the way there until the tire are warm.

Handling is good. Stopping is good, and they balance fine. It is just the flat spots that are annoying.

Thanks for your reply, How are the tires off the line with hard acceleration? I heard some of the mustang guys complain of the off the line wheel spin but they are also running a 265 wide compared to 315 or 325.
Thanks again.

Well, my car has about 800 crank HP, so they spin regardless, but for handling, they do a pretty decent job without going to something ultra sticky with a 80 or 100 tread wear rating. They are the in-between tire when comparing something like a Radial T/A and a Nitto N05.


Mine is a 315/35/17 on the rear and 255/40/17 on the front.

Yes you are right with that kind of power every tire will spin I have Nitto 555R on the cobra now and only got 962 miles on them and there bald I have to replace them before driving the car this spring. I was looking into the G2 they have much more tread on them but I'm afraid I will giving up to much traction I also looked into the Cooper Cobra but they are not made in my size. Maybe I should try the G2's and take it easy with gas pedal Thanks for your opinion very appreciated.
