Nitto NT555R Extreme Drag - Summer Max Performance tire
  • Competition Performance
  • NT555 G2 + NT555RII - A Perfect Pair
  • Competition Performance
  • High-Speed Stability
  • Contact Patch
  • Street & Strip
  • Race Compound
  • The NT555®RII Drag Radial Tire works in unison with the NT555®G2 Summer Ultra High Performance Tire, so you can put the drag radials on the driven axle and the NT555®G2's on the non-driven axle. When developing both product lines, Nitto matched the tread pattern and sizing to fit modern performance vehicles.
  • The overall construction has been modified to improve launch performance. The NT555®R was designed to achieve a balance between maximum dry performance and occasional street use.
  • Semi-radial construction combined with a unique reinforced package helps provide stability at high track speeds.
  • The sidewall construction has been modified to improve launch for better 60' times*. *Compared to NT05R™.
  • The large twin center ribs provide a continuous contact patch for dry traction.
  • The tread compound is formulated to achieve a balance between treadwear and drag strip performance, allowing for the weekend racer to drive to the track, compete, and drive back home on the same set of rear tires.
  • NT555®RII features race compound for increased traction at the starting line.
