 |  | | | | | |  | | NITTO Extreme Performance NT555 Tire (285/30-20) | | | | |  | Looking for the ultimate street performance tire for your car? The Nitto NT555 utilizes the latest in tire technology to create this extreme performance tire. The Nitto NT555 is hands down the best way to put power to the ground during the warmer months in your daily driver or track car.
By utilizing a racing concept design, Nitto Tire's engineers developed the NT555 "Extreme ZR". With a specially formulated compound and one of the biggest contact patches available, the NT555 provides superior traction and reliable handling.
The three-circumferential grooves channel water efficiently, while the lateral grooves break up the water wedge. This combination of grooves and channels reduces the chance of hydroplaning. Combined with an increase in tread block rigidity, a high modulus carcass, and hard bead filler, the NT555 delivers total vehicle control.
Features:
- Tread pattern is designed for high-speed stability and superb cornering performance
- High tread block rigidity secures stable contact with the road under all driving conditions
- High-grip compound delivers superior mobility on both wet and dry surfaces, while ensuring a high level of anti-wear performance
- Z Performance Rated, Treadwear 300, Traction and Temperature A
Specifications:
- Hydroplaning Resistance: 9.1
- Wet Traction: 9.5
- Dry Traction: 9.9
- Snow Traction: N/A
- Ice Traction: N/A
- Steering Response: 9.6
- Cornering Stability: 9.6
- Ride: 8.9
- Noise: 8.8
- Tread Wear: 8.3
KEY: 10-8.6 Oh Yeah!, 8.5-6.6 Above Average, 6.5-4.6 Average, 4.5-2.6 Acceptable, 2.5-0 Unacceptable
NOTE: These are extreme ultra high performance summer specific compound and tread tires. Use during the summer and warm temperature months will result in far superior traction over “all season” tires. Use during the winter months/cold temperatures drastically reduces traction and exponentially increases stopping distance as the compound becomes less sticky. |
