## Overview

The Nitto NT555RII P305/45R17 102W is a DOT-approved radial tire engineered for autocross and road racing. Featuring a wide 305mm tread, stiff sidewalls, and twin center ribs, it offers exceptional dry traction, stability, and launch control. Rated for speeds up to 168 mph and a load capacity of 1874 lbs, it excels in high-power street-strip applications while maintaining surprising comfort and durability for a race-inspired tire.

## Description

The D.O.T. approved Nitto NT555RII radial tires for auto cross competitions and road races feature a unique fusion of the Nitto Drag Radial tread pattern and stiff sidewall for racing. Their tread design includes twin center ribs that provide consistent surface contact at all times and enhances stability. Large tread blocks provide optimal surface contact for better cornering and traction. The soft racing tread compound enhances control and handling even in extreme racing conditions.

Review: This tire outperforms the mickeys on the street. This is why: o More stable at higher speeds (not talking about 80mph). o They handle well in the rain (admittedly I slowed down to 65mph but my “street” tires-Michelin pilot sports- perform worse). o They are quieter than both ET STREET SS’s, R888R2’s and again my Michelin pilot sports. o These tires are more comfortable on the road then the Michelins but not as forgiving to bumps as the ET Street R’s. o The tires do have a longer life with mixed driving when comparing to the Mickeys, last a slight less than the Toyo R888R2’s but, I’m sure no one is looking at these wondering if they can squeeze 20,000 miles out of these. o Traction on these at 650hp, in a stick shift car, on the road or track, in 60* weather at even 32psi on the street- is amazing. Highly recommend for straight line use. Again, if you are looking at these it’s for a particular style of driving and you know it’s not a cornering tire. My set have been through like 40 heat cycles and they still perform. Hope this all helps, honestly a great street strip tire at moderately low power levels, even in stick shift cars on prepped or unprepped surfaces.
Review: Work good on my 700+hp Supra

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use these tires when it is rain heavy without hydroplaning?**
A: Hello,

The NITTO NT555RII is a high-performance summer tire designed for dry and wet conditions, but it's not specifically designed for heavy rain or standing water. As such, it's possible to experience hydroplaning or reduced traction in extremely wet conditions, especially if the tire's tread is worn.

Thanks,
Performance Discounters
