Hey guys so I'm needing to get some need tires for my 2012 svtpp and was looking for some opinions on the nt555 g2.
I came from a c6 corvette before the shelby and had a few sets of the invoice on it and loved them. They were a great tire especially for the price. I had the original nt555 on a mustang gt and was not that impressed with them.
I have heard that the nt555 g2 is a big improvement over the regular 555 but I do not know how they compare to the invos.
I noticed on nitto's website that the treadwear is higher on the nt555 g2 than on the invo, but the wet and dry traction meter is higher on the g2 than the invo. I have been under the impression that typically speaking, lower treadwear rating equates to higher traction. How does anyone's real world experience with these tires compare?
This car is my DD and will probably do 295 in the rear if that influences any of your opinions.
On nitto's site they have a 295/35/20 and a 295/40/20 which would you go with?
Also, if I went to a 295 on the rear should I leave the fronts in their stock size or go up in the same increment?
Thanks guys!
