These tires gave me the best 60ft and 330ft times yet and I am very impressed with them.
For sure! For a street tire they are great!!!
@@JLSpeed how do they hold up a couple months later ? Will the grip still be there ?
The NT555R2's did not disappoint!
I have 500 hp do I need to do a burnout to warm them up, or can I just drive it around floor it a couple times before it starts hooking ?
I would do a small burnout nothing crazy@@shelbyhaiketic4212
Het them heat cycled and a light shave at a tire rack type place. Better yet buy from them, they offer both services and depending on the tire they will recommend one or the other
Dude I’m in the process of starting my mods on my Zl1 and your videos are helping so much. Im currently looking for a wheel tire setup too. I have kooks long tubes, rotofab, and flex fuel sensor in my garage right now waiting to be put on the car. Thanks for the content!!!
Thats awesome! Glad the videos are helping!!
Get that ported supercharger on there with the ported snout and a 103mm TB!!!! 😀😀😀 Then that big gulp will help with gains. Then your cam and ported heads...... never ends. 😂😂😂
It is a never ending story here! haha I will be doing it step by step to show people the gains and times, but hopefully the blower will be on sometime this summer!
I only heard good things about them also. Ordered the same ones, just didn't have time to install them yet.
They have been great for driving on the street. They are not going to hook from a dead stop, but any roll they will grip and go!
Nice looking tires 👌. I'm curious to see what 315 will look like.
Nice car. Great video.
Impressive
Good luck 👍
Wow nice
Very nice
Those tires should be at 18 pounds not 30 lol
The pass you did at 9:05 was definitely a low 4 second 60-100. Did that run not register?
I’ve heard good things about them
Yeah so far I’m impressed I couldn’t floor it from a 50 with the stock Goodyear’s before
@@JLSpeed nope
Whoa! Look who it is!!

Haha, yeah it’s a never ending story that’s for sure!
The Nitto that you are using is more of a road race tire than a drag race tire. If you could compare the first tires with your Nitto's around the curves, you would see a big difference.
“Road race”…. As in they will hold up in the turns and not just in a straight line.??
Mine are STILL back ordered. Til June they say. 🥲
Dang! I had to wait around 3 weeks for mine and lead times are getting longer and longer!
If you guys have a Discount Tire I would go there next day delivery for us
Dude your times are how quick it ia not how fast.
Niice camaro🤙
Thanks! I miss it! Haha
😲 wow
Cool
nice
Good
Nice. Jorge, how is the zl1 now compared to your ss when it was at its prime, with h/c/i/nitrous?
The zl1 right now with just intake and tune on 93 is still slow compared to my SS with everything lol I think once we get it on e50 it will be as fast as the SS with just the heads cam FBO no nitrous. Going to take a little more bolt ons to get it to the SS on nitrous
@@JLSpeed Damn. Goes to show how badass your ss was. Can’t wait for what is in store for the zl1
@@willw1564 yeah lol the SS was well put together with the right combo of parts and tuning by Pray! The zl1 will probably go faster than the SS NA with simple bolt ons, and on FBO Im hoping I can get it to run as fast as the SS was on nitrous and everything else
Why don’t you put it on track mode
Bc my tuner says it’s better in tour.
Why not r888rs? Thought that was the go to. I’m looking for a good tire for the stock wheel too! Car is making 610whp after the intake/e50/corsa axle back install✊🏼✊🏼oh also! What has been the best way to launch the zl1 for you? Comp mode or all nannies off and I’m assuming foot brake over launch control right?
Awesome numbers! I’ll be on the dyno here soon to see what it does on 93, but the nt555r2s are about 100 bucks cheaper and perform just as welling seems. They are less noisy also. Leaving off idle or right above it around 1000 rpm has been the best with everything completely off and ofcourse a good tire.
@@JLSpeed awesome thanks for the response 💪🏼 also it made 630wtq!
@@BigDawgMuscleX Damn that’s awesome I bet it feels like a crazy different car!
I'm getting 555rs 315/35/20 and make 637 whp and 697 torque on my 2012 SS what's the best way to launch it? I'm waiting on the tires thay on back order and tried a few passes on my hard tires but thay 315/35/20 too thought since that thay was wide it'd help lol
Toyo tq
How many miles do they say you get out of them? Seem pretty good i got the 555g2 and they hook a lil bit I got my bolt ons done and they don't hook to good any more lol
From what I have read you should get 8-10k miles out of them. Not bad for a daily tire!
@@JLSpeed nice thanks bro!!! Love the zl1
My ZL1 came with 555g2s and they are garbage! Can't wait to replace them. They might have been fine on my stock SS but I roast them 1-3 at anything over half throttle lmfao
My concern that my 580whp Bmw m4 is my daily, and I ive in NY, so we get rain sometimes. Some people say 555r is better for drag racing because of softer sidewalls and that 555r2's have stiffer sidewalls and has better in the rain. Can anyone advise?
I think the 555r2s are decent in the rain, and thats what i would get over the 555r and other daily drag radials.
I just bought a 01' dodge viper. It came with these on the rears. They have approx 1k miles on them. Should I get rid of them if I'm just street driving? It's bone stock. Selection for these 18x13 rims isn't great.
No i think these are great tires for daily driving better grip and still decent in the rain.
@@JLSpeed ah okay good to know. Thanks!!! Not my daily I'll only take it out on nice days.
💥💥 Are these straight road only tires???
They are ment for daily driving with a bit extra grip for higher hp cars.
What are you doing with the drag pack you had on the SS?
Going to go up for sale
How much
@@uniquegrooming3853 2800
What size are they ?
I believe they were the factory size 305/30
Stock size got it . thanks
Why didn't you go with the M.T street ss like you did on the camaro ss?
These were for my street wheels. On my S so had a drag pack and on this zl1 I also had a drag pack with mt street r’s
Which ones do you think hooked better? Mt Street ss or these nittos?
@@Ghost-zt8ge never ran the MT SS but they probably are similar with these just having better rain characteristics
M/T hook but car was very uncomfortable/swirly at high speeds on highway
What are the benefits of lowering the tire pressure?
The lower tire pressure lets you get more tire contact on the road along with letting the tire “wrinkle” when it hooks
@@JLSpeed How will that affect high speeds and aggressive cornering?
@@jp_b58 it shouldn’t affect it, as long as you keep it around 26-28 psi you should be good, when you get down to 16-17 then it can feel a little less sound lol
Why don’t you use the timer from the car?
Not as accurate. The draggy gps is far more accurate
What’s the Camaro ss run without the nitrous? Dyno numbers?
It would run a 10.6 around 133ish made 540 hp without nitrous would have ram much better if it had a stall but the bigger cam with the stock stall made it a slug out of the hole without nitrous
Have you tried the R888R as well? Which is better at hooking from a dig? I have yet to feel my cars power because I just spin from a dig. I have some very old R888R that never really hooked... heard once they are a year or two old they loose the traction.
I never tried the r888r’s but they were on my radar. From what I could tell these new r2 nittos did very well and were comparable to the r888r’s. They also did better in rain.
I replaced my R888R's with NT555R2's and I got a better 60' with the 555's and seems to hook really well if you give them a proper burn out before a launch. The r888r's were a great tire but a bit more of an all around performer, an excellent track tire. Plus they only lasted me 4K miles as a street tire.
@Brian Bartley thanks brother! I am going to try the Nt555r2. Getting a brand new set of 315 30 20 installed on Monday. 🤞🏻 for traction!
@brianbartley6140 got those nt555r2's had to get 305 not 315. But man do they hook so good! I am just under 500 hp. Let me tell you I am extremely happy!!!
@@thatrealcarguy Nice! You'll be good for plenty more power in a roll racing fashion too. Probably the best 60' you could expect with them is about a 1.6-7 sec. with a good burn out and good launch. Get yourself a Dragy and go practice if you don't have one already. Really the only way you can get even more launching traction is to go to a 17" wheel and run a full on slick like a Mickey Thomson.
The NT555's and the Toyo's actually use the exact same rubber compound just a different carcass.The Toyo's hook even better from a roll and from a dig there are both about the same only 1.7 - 1.8 60ft at best.They cant really touch M/T drag radials
Yeah I don’t expect these to hook amazing from a dig, especially a street, but these ar exist for the street to drive around in and get some roll action with!
How do you know they are the same rubber compound? They are made by two different tire manufacturers and that data is proprietary. Are you making assumptions? Otherwise, I'd like to see the scientific data if you have it.
@@Blkout2k1 absolute assumptions from that dude. No doubt about it
@@Blkout2k1 Nitto and Toyo are the same company
@@bigalforsyth Doesn't change the fact that they likely have entirely different compounds.
What size are your front tires? I just want to make sure if I do go with the 305s it doesn't interfere with my stabilitrack
The stock 285/30 I believe
@@JLSpeed that size would fit the ss to right?
@@slickrickdarula9483 Yes it will!
@@JLSpeed I did a little research it looks like I might be able to go with A 305 30 20 and A 265 35 20. Going with nitto g2s on the front. Its within .68 inches from each other i think that is within tolerance 🤔 What do you think?
Would there be any difference if you had it in sport or track mode ?
No, my tuner has recommended I stay in tour in the zl1
@@JLSpeed that's so weird. Try it in sport or track just to see what you gwt
@@Zle_blacklightning It doesnt make a difference, I will try it next time im doing some draggy test.
@@JLSpeed okay, it has to tho because it shifts faster IF your using the 10speed but you use the shifters
@@Zle_blacklightning I’ll try it next time at the track but it has always been faster in tour. And for the draggy pulls it shouldn’t matter since I’m not shifting.
was there any noise issues after 7-10k
Not sure didn’t drive it enough before I sold it
Does anyone know if you can fit 305 tires on a stock 2020 SS ?
Yes you can fit a 305 not sure if you can fit them safely on the stock ss wheels, but on any aftermarket or replica zl1 or 1le wheels they will fit perfectly.
yeah they fit fine dont go more then 305/35 tho
Would I be screwed if I ran these in the front of my mustang 5.0?
I don’t think so just wouldn’t help with grip from a launch.
@@JLSpeed got it. Car is just daily Na with intake and full exhaust.
@@coryjeffries1330 yeah they sell nt555g2 which would probably be more appropriate for the fronts since they don’t need to be ultra sticky like the rears
@@JLSpeed thanks for the reply. I just got the r2s put on the front. I’ll keep in mind for next set to make sure it’s g2. Live and learn lol.
Jorge would you say the et street r on the 17 still hooks better then these?
Oh yeah for sure, especially from a dig, but from a roll they are pretty even.
@@JLSpeed i was thinking about trying the 555r2 in the 17 for my drag pack I'm wondering how they would hook at the track
@@matthewpfeiffer3527 they would do ok but not better than the et street r’s
@@JLSpeed I'm looking for a dead hook
@@matthewpfeiffer3527 go with the et street r’s
Osm
How much for the ss drag pack?
I’m going to be asking 2800 with the tires. Wheels alone are 3300 with tax give or take and tires are another 1k lol
Las usas normal en la calle
Si son las que usaba en la calle
Ok muchas Gracias y con la lluvia no se resbalan mucho
@@javizepeda2117 no trabajan muy bien, claro que en lluvia muy fuerte tiene que tener cuidado, pero normal or lluvia ligera no hay problema
Gracias amigo
Why are you in touring mode?
Bc my car is tuned and touring is the best set up to launch the car with the softer suspension.
@@JLSpeed I was watching a video someone did at the track and that didn't make any difference for him at the track at least trying the softer suspension, and you can put the suspension in touring and have everything else in sport and track you know right?
@@zachwilson7061 yes I do, but i just listen to my tuner who says the trans shifts better and car performs better in tour.
What wheels are those?
The stock zl1 wheels
@@JLSpeed No the drag pack wheels lmaoo. What wheels are those with the slicks on them? Want to buy em for someone
@@MeansDaddy they are weld ventura beadlock 17x10 rear and ventura 18x5 fronts
I went to order these nittos and it gave me an option for the second set of numbers, 102W, 104w, all the way up, I didn’t know which to order? From what I can tell that rating is for speed? I’m not sure
Interesting, I have a fbo ss and daily nitto nt05rs on a 17" wheel and they are just terrible...This might be my next move 🧐
The new NT555r2s are much better than the older nt05rs definitely consider them!
