If they have to adjust the rear alignment make sure they have new bolts. Some of the rear suspension bolts are TTY and shouldn't be used a second time as discussed in this thread.

I have the G2's on my Stock 2017 SS, In my opinion, they are horrible and will never buy again. There is one positive, I cut my best 60 foot with them, 1.8x, they suck every where else, lol.

OP has a ZL1, he probably doesn't have runflats

It is not "probably". The ZL1 does NOT come with run flats. Period.

How has no one said this? The NT555s are GARBAGE! You have a world class 200TW front tire and garbage on the back, there's your problem.

I had to look up the 555G2 just to be sure and it looks like they did switch them to a 200TW tire except all sizes with a W speed rating are 320TW and clearly still garbage. Your size 315/30R20 is W speed rated.

Quick update on this, I ordered the OEM size Goodyear supercar F1. Will receive them in a few days and I will update for reference if anyone has the same issue.

Nobody should be putting anything but a OEM tire, toyo r888r, or michelin pilots on their cars. Depending on your needs/wants.

ExorsistzL1 · 08-07-2020, 04:16 PM

I have 18zl1 and i 1st put Nt05r 315 35 20 in rear and oem front and my car was throwing codea TC lighting up randomly the car wasn't happy. I switched to toyo r888r 315 30 20 and the tc issue was gone but the car was driving funny so i threw toyos r888r in front and its perfect except for tire hums really loud

Evolvedx27 · 08-07-2020, 04:26 PM

I have OEM in front. Toyo r888r in 315/30 in rear. No issues.

I just put on et street ss and I hate them on the street. The rearend feels less settled and the sway is terrible. They hook incredibly well. I bought a second set of my rear wheels and a new set of the factory supercar 3 from goodyear

So, you think that little bit of height difference caused all the trouble? Was it just the codes or did the car drive weird? I was thinking of replacing the rear NT555G2's with the NT05R's (they only come in the taller size in twenties). The fronts will remain NT555G2's. The four NT555G2's seem to stick to the road well in turns and such. But, the rears seem to not want to hook on the street when launching the car. I am searching for a better hook but, don't want a wonky driving missile.

Alignment bolts are 1 time use and yea it matters because I re used mine and they shifted bad...

So, you're thinking it was an alignment issue?
