Nitto 555 G2 review

Haven't had them very long, not even long enough to "break them in", but already can tell a HUGE difference.
They heat up real quick
Grip is in a different league than the MTs.
- doesn't even chirp going into second, just grips and shoots you forward.
-If I gunned it from 10 MPH, ie straight to 100% throttle, the old tires slipped and set off the traction control while these maintain 100% grip.
-Only did few 0-60s and did 4.1-4.3-4.0. I look forward to seeing what she can do once they are broken in and I get use to how to launch on these tires.

In short, worth every penny and exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you for all your help, patience with me, and advice!

Nice man, I'm going with these too once my OEM's gets balded. Did you get a good deal on them?

I know MPSS are probably a tad better but it's more pricier

250 each shipped. There is probably a better price out there but I buy everything I can off amazon because they give me amazing customer service.
I am sure there are stickier tires out there. I actually thought I was going to have to go a step above these to the NT05 but these are plenty good for the street and getting full enjoyment out of the car.
Disclaimer: they are. 305 wide. But so we're my mickey Thompsons.

MPSS are now largely out of stock everywhere. Few shops may have them. MPSS cost $389, new Michelin replacements cost $435...thats each!

Will they fit on the stock rim?

I'd love to get better gripping tires once the back wears out more.

What size tires did you go with? Are you running stock wheels?

I do not think stock rims can run tires this wide. I got the 1LE replicas.

Btw - the PSS are low stock because they are being replaced any minute now by the PS4S.

Due in Q1 '17
