Overview

Nitto NT 555 RII Tires

Nitto NT 555 RII D.O.T.-compliant, competition drag radial tires are designed with additional flexibility for the weekend drag racer. Developed through a unique fusion of race circuit-style, stiff sidewall construction and the popular Nitto Drag radial tread pattern, combined with the high-traction, specially formulated, soft racing tread compound, results in a competition radial that exhibits impressive control and handling, providing maximum traction under severe racing conditions. The sidewall construction is optimized for handling extreme lateral acceleration; vehicles may experience rougher riding when used for daily driving. The Nitto NT 555 RII is designed primarily for competition and road racing.

Features include:

* Improved dry traction due to high block rigidity, ultra-high grip compound, and large surface area contact with the road
* Unique tread provides excellent handling capabilities for daily driving
* Two wide steel tread belts and two nylon tread cap plies for superior handling characteristics
* Steel sidewall inserts reinforce the sidewall for extreme lateral acceleration
* Jointless tread cap plies and jointless wound bead wires improve tire uniformity and provide a smooth, comfortable ride
* Unidirectional tread pattern allows for high speed and excellent braking response
* Unique construction and tread pattern improve rigidity, uniform contact, and wear resistance
* Spiral wound, jointless bead wire construction assures strength for stable performance at high speeds
* Rim guard designed to protect against wheel damage
