The NT555 summer performance tire can be paired with the NT555R drag radial on the rear axle. When developing both product lines, Nitto matched the tread pattern and sizing to fit modern performance vehicles.
The advanced tread compound balances dry traction and treadlife.
The tread blocks were reinforced to provide great rigidity and stability. This creates a consistent contact patch under various driving conditions.
The large contact patch adds more rubber contacting the road surface to provide improved dry performance while cornering, braking and accelerating.
