"Nitto NT555" can mean the both the G2 or the R-II, which are vastly different:

• The NT555 G2 is a relatively mediocre summer-only tire that I would never choose over the Michelin PS4S or the Conti ECS 02.

• The NT555R-II is a drag radial tire that is definitely not recommended for any other weather than 70+ degrees and dry pavement. Sure, it has better dry traction than any of the "normal" street tires, but those tires can do everything else, too (except snow of course), including safe operation at much lower temperatures and roads puddled up from a sudden downpour.

As to the question OP raised for his Camaro using the stock powertrain, I still wholeheartedly recommend these "normal" street tires, especially after switching to SS or ZL1 sizes. There is almost nothing to gain from a drag radial at the stock (aka low) power level, but a lot to lose when conditions aren't ideal.
