Nitto NT555 Extreme


For reliable traction and responsive handling, equip your sports car or muscle car with the Nitto NT555 ultra-high-performance tire. This summer tire features an advanced tread compound that balances dry traction and treadlife. The tread pattern also contributes to dependable wet traction, as it uses two circumferential grooves to evacuate water away from the contact area. To promote great handling, the tread blocks are reinforced to provide rigidity that makes your ride smoother at high speeds. If youre looking for an ultra-high-performance tire that combines summer grip with reliable wet traction, consider the Nitto NT555 tire.

My 95 Vette handles much better now with the Nittos. Previously I had Kuhmo Exta tires that were fairly loud and the ride was harsh. I chalked that up to the fact they were High Performance tires. However, the Nitto's are better performers and are much quieter. Combined with installing new KYB shocks a week later the Vette rides and handles like a much better different car. I would recommend them!!!!

The Nitto 555 replaced my 13 year old BF Goodrich tires that looked like new on my 1994 Corvette. I could tell the difference with the Nitto's as soon as I got on the road. No issues yet. I think these are a great value considering I only drive the car in the summer and they will need to be replace due to age rather than wear.Discount tire guys were really great. They took great caution when raising my car and extra care with not scratching any of my wheels. Great experience and would recommend them for any tire purchase.
