Coming from nitto nt05r's, I really wanted a tire that could match the level of traction these gave me. The rII's seem to be the nt05R replacement? I use them as rears on my Camaro SS and they've given me amazing traction with surprisingly good performance in the rain. My nt05r's were all over the place on wet roads but the nt555 rII's hold up well!

Nitto g2's on the front and Nitto RII's in the rear for the best performance

Nitto 555r2 is a great sticky track tire

I have had a few tires to drive on. The Nitto NT555RII are great at handling and launching out of the hole. I have had 4 launching on the drag strip. They grip the track well and will make your 60 foot time much better! Instant hook up. It is a daily driver and I have never drove them in the rain. Tread wear? I have only had them for 1,000 miles so I honestly don't know.

Good tiyahs
