With all the extra power, especially the instant torque since installing the Whipple Supercharger on the 2019 Camaro SS1le, we needed to upgrade to some stickier tires to help her grip the road. Of course, we had to test them out and show you guys what we found... What do you think?! Make sure to let us know in the comments!

I'm about to make a tire purchase and you just helped me over the fence on the Nitto 555r2's. Wrap it up!
I just got a set of these same tires but i got the factory size 305/30r20 for my street wheels on my zl1. Glad to hear its hooking well from a roll! Thatst exactly what i want from these tires on my car!
They will!!!
Just put a 305/40/18 on my 5th gen camaro with 650/700tq, love them, no spin thru second onwards now 👌
What size wheel you used for the 305/40/18 tire?
Just bought these in 305 for my 700rwhp mustang, they hold power just fine.
How's from a dig?
You guys are garage goals🔥
Thanks! We love it!
I will try the Nittos this summer. My zl1 makes 842 rwhp. Anything is better than the stock tires.
I like that color scheme of the car. The black/grey looks good.
Keep that woman happy and serve her with all of the god given power that you have. Women like here are rare to come by, wish y'all a happy life together. 💪🏽🖤
Thank you!
@@DroppinGearz Are the 555RII any good for canyon carving and the occasional track day at Laguna Seca or Thunder Hill? I need something for winter driving in Silicon Valley and 1-2 track days mixed in. Thanks My NT05 just dont hook up good enough.

I run the older 555Rs on the street at 30psi and they work great. But they have barely any tread when new and mine are about done. Thanks for the video. I will consider these 555R2s next.
I got the new R2’s on my terminator 700 hp and they are good.
About how many miles would you say they are good for? I agree these tires are crazy expensive for such little tread.
Great video thanx!
I like that you have a manual transmission and your car is really nice. I had a 6th gen SS with a manual and sold it for my 2019 A10 ZL1 and added a magnuson 2650. The A10 is great, but there's nothing better than rowing your own gears. I miss it. Enjoy your ride! You're bringing back good memories.
Thanks! I really love it! Rowing the gears is what I was looking for when I bought it... I know for straight line an auto is legitimately faster but I got my car to drive every day and have fun while doing it not for straight lines. Thanks again! Hope you keep watching!
I dont miss the manual at all. I can race with an energy drink in hand and not worry. Besides, nothing is like the A10
When my zl1 A10 was stock, I raced my buddies zl1, 1le manual and put 2.5 to 3 cars on him and he is 60lbs lighter from the factory. That's why I got the a10 and not another manual.
@@mjc3502 It's not all about drag racing/roll racing other people. The ZL1 1LE with a manual is very fast and enjoyable on a road course and curvy road if you know how to properly drive a manual. The enjoyment of really driving your car efficiently, connecting with your car, and rowing through the gears is something that can't be done with an automatic. For example, driving up and down a twisty mountain road is far more enjoyable in a vehicle with a manual transmission than an auto. This I know first hand.
@@jonasblane2157 every car I have owned has been a manual. I don't need the manual speech. My last car ran 9.21@151.8 in the 1/4mi. It was a manual. My car before that and that, blah, blah, blah were all manual trans. Shit. My 9.2 car broke more parts than some have in the entire car. Been there, the auto has evolved while the manual has been stagnant. I just finished a 1,000hp build on my zl1 and the auto is superior for racing today compared to years ago. I don't miss shifting while enjoying a drink or having to get into the right gear if a roll race comes. And, for some reason your car is also a A10.. thats weird when you try the manual speech on me.
@@mjc3502 Did you even read what I wrote MJ C? I just said it's not all about drag racing/roll racing. Some of us enjoy driving on the road course and curvy mountain roads and those venues are much better with a manual transmission. You're completely focused on drag racing and you completely missed my point.
Sticky sticky! 🤘🏽 I hear some whine 😬
Thanks for the input...great video....she is definitely a keeper....beautiful woman and loves fast cars..priceless!!
Looks like they hook well! Just got a couple for my hellcat im excited to put them on soon!
Have you tried them yet?
@@matthewsterling4858 on the street yes. Pretty solid. Have not gone to the track yet.
your wife is very good with the manual trans...great job!
Wish I could get those 555R2 tyres here in Australia for my Whipple Stang
What was causing the rubbing? Did you go with the OEM tire size?
Would you recommend these for an 04 Lightning making 700 whp? I have a lot of suspension already done to it. Thank you.
Thanks for the great vlogs! I’m saving for a whipple kit with tune for my SS.... Is there anything unexpected you had to buy? I still have my original tires that hook alright with stock power but I will be looking at those tires some time after. I can’t wait to join the fun you all are having!
Nothing unexpected yet but recommend Headers and get a custom tune that’s next for our Camaro. Whipple tune is very sub par and drivability is also. We are waiting on headers to show up to go get it tuned.
@@DroppinGearz thanks for the reply! Headers and a intake will be my next mods after my whipple..... not sure if I will need a catch can but those will be the next mods..... I figure it will have to breath! Hope we get to see some more pulls and you keep making blogs! They have been helpful.... Thanks again for responding!
Just get the tuner Kit, the Whipple tune is no good. You will want a LS3 crank seal and Mighty Mouse catch can that has a breather. I would also get the LT4 fuel system, flex fuel sensor, and run a blend of Ethanol for higher octane. Something around E50-E60...I have had a Whipple on my SS for over 3 years...trust me when I say that 93 octane really limits the potential... They are too high of compression and you can not run very much timing.
@@joemeyers1016 I had the same problems and went with electronic methanol injection and it is 👌
What power are you pushing to the tires? Looking at getting a set.
Gotta put Christina on the driving simulator in the rain so that she gets used to driving those in the rain when they get to half life.
I’ll try these when I am done with my new set of NT01’s which is my favorite.
Nice car bro, we should link up I have procharged 2ss down here in Miami.
You guys are in Orlando! I want to super charge my 2021 Camaro. Any recommendations for who can put it on
Awesome video! Where was the tire rubbing coming from, the front tires or the back tires?
Rear tires, specifically the driver side rear
Ok thank you. I'm getting these tires for my 2010 Camaro SS, and I may get wheel spacers to help clear the inside side wall of the tires from scrubbing the wells.
How much room is there in the fender well? I'm looking to get the 315 35 20 they don't have the 30. For my camaro
Great video!! Are the Nitto’s worth it over theMichelins Super Sports? I have a baby 575/585 on my C7
Nitto is a radial and super sport is an all season basically. Not really tires that should be compared. The super sports will have a much longer life and the Nittos will not with a 100 tread ware and not last as lo.. What’s better for the track or to dead hook? then you want the Nittos
I need your help. I purchased the same size and I am getting all kind of lights. I do have a 2019 2SS. Purchased a set of 1LE wheels and rode with no issues. Now that I purchased the 555r2 getting all kinds of lights on the dash. I hear cause the rear are taller. What size are you running in the front?
Are this Nitto tires good fit for beemers?
What psi do you run them on the street?
With those new sticky tires, and now you have to keep your eye on the axle shafts and two-piece driveline.
These will spin in 1st and 2nd in a stock V8 SS no matter what and can easily be overheated. So these spare the rear and shaft.
what tires do you have up front?
How much power does it make?
Damn nice car!both of them!what numbers is the camaro putting down?
Thanks! Honestly I don’t know yet. She was just tuned and had a bunch of issues that came up during the process that all got worked out but unfortunately we didn’t have time to get her on the Dyno for official numbers at that time so we’ll get that updated soon!
Damn I know that car seat is CRYING LOL
If you launch does it spin
8:15 she steals the show.
Did you put them front and back? Or just back? I've heard to do the 555G2 up front and the 555R2 out back. But I'd definitely prefer to do a matching set.
Just in the back.
What front lip and skirt are those?
Got these on my supercharged 5.0 and they spin thru 3
I just got a 2017 Camaro 1LE, the previous owner put some Michelin sport 4s and they don’t hook. Maybe since they’re worn down. But I’m deciding between the NT555r2 or toyo proxes. I want them also for good cornering not just straight line. How do these hold up on hard corners?
NT's dont do well until above 60. R888R's take corners and hook at 20 mph and are just a bit noisy. Id avoid Thompsons S/S and the NT. Plus you must have a shop heat cycle the tires, simply driving on them wont do it properly.
You have to ha e had the tirea heat cycled and shaved. No heat cycle by a shop, I've heard and seen these get loose on stock SS off line in a A10 car in 90°.
NO FUKN SPIN BABY!! 🫶🏼🤩
Just can't find the tires now
How do the nt555r2 and the nt05r handle on the highway? I’ve read the et street ss like to sway on the highway
Both are great on the Highway and no swaying.
The nt555r2 do great... no sway, no spin, not noisy...
I had the nto5r and after coming down from high speeds it definitely gets loose but nothing you can't control.
Two thumbs up.
On all 4 corners or just the rears?
Just the rears
I just ordered the exact same tire and size. Out of curiosity what width wheel did you put the 305 on?
315s
The rears are 315... I put them all on the stock wheels
What was the rub, what size did you go with?
I know this is a month ago but the rubbing usually is due to wire on inside rear driver fender. It needs to be relocated. There are videos on it.
Hey what's up bro I'm really thinking about buying two of these tires to throw on the back of my car I just bought a 2021 charger scat pack wide body is there a way that you can possibly give us a update on how are they... Ps I think it's really cool to see a woman drive a stick like that I'm giving you a virtual high five right now
Thanks! I absolutely love this thing!!! She’s currently at the shop getting dialed in even better… but as far as the tires… They are great! I will definitely be buying another set when it’s time! They had done great straight line and turns. They did well with normal driving in wet conditions… I mean obviously I didn’t push it in the rain but I didn’t have to baby it either… just use your head and respect the road of course…
@@DroppinGearz How were they in the corners? Like how would they compare to the Toyo 888r? I think after watching ur videos im leaning towards these but id like something that does decent in the corners to? What are ur thoughts?
Are they good for a 1000 hp zl1 I have
Nothing is going to be good at that point. Street wise.
What’s the RWHP? He keeps saying whipple is on it but doesn’t say the RWHP
Are these tires at 305 a little wider than other nitto or other tires at 305
These are 315/35/20 for my rears... these tires do not come in a 305 for the 20” wheel... so I had to go wider and taller which unfortunately required the relocation of the wire harness in the rear drivers side wheel well (which is super easy to do by the way, I have a video for it)
@@DroppinGearz oh. Ok. For some reason I thought they were 19s. Ok so same question applies are they any wider than other 315/35R20 or similar?
I don’t believe so… side wall isn’t any more rounded than the original tires… I would’ve been fine if they had offered these in a 305 or in a 30… it was just the fact that I was going wider and a little taller that was just a little too much
@@DroppinGearz yeah. I have them coming in 305/30R19 for my car. I currently have the normal NT05’s in that size. They absolutely do not hook for any serious power. It was fine when I was NA but not since I have a blower no good.
How do these compare to your nt05R ?
Both are great! I feel is these a bit better in the wet than the NT05R and the 555R2 need to be heated up some to when it cold outside.Long term I’ve gotten 12k out of the NT05R and 555R2 is still TBD.
Thank you for the reply 👍
What exhaust is on the Camaro?
Mbrp race
Catback
Can I run these tires all around?
I don’t see why not but if you want a more track focused tire I would go with Yokohama R888 instead. These are more straight line tires and running them up front is kinda a waste of $$.
i put them on my supercharged c8, very bad choice, 315/35/20 and set psi at 20, they have zero traction compared to the michelin 325/25/21
and yes i did smoke them several times. so as of now i'm telling you that the nitto arn't worth shit
More than 10k on drag radials in the rain after the first spin or hydroplane, you are playing with your life.
Wife drive it more aggressive.
First of all who owns a Chevy and a Ford ? Not a true Chevy guy ! Lol
Ewww that requires a mullet!
A true American muscle 💪
