Nitto 555RII Have Arrived! 315/35R20

[16GoManGoHC2]

Do you have a M6 @16GoManGoHC2 ?

Yes, a lower geared one though, 2.98, 2.10, 1.40, 1.0, .8, .63 Tranzilla
It’s tough on tires , I was surprised today’s third run hooked solid hitting second.

M6 as well and couldn't be happier. Stock gearing though. I have noticed I have had 0 wheel hop since it was lowered with these tires. By those #'s it seems it's made a huge benefit. I'd like to do that myself. 0-60 in 3.6 in a M6 is beyond impressive!

Can’t wait to give your times a go late next week. I’m putting fresh 295 Ps4s on my cat too so I’ll do a direct comparison to the Redeye with the 555II.. I’ve gotten 3.2 seconds with the ps4s before.. on the charger on the street doing a pre 3 second burnout. But I’ll tell you this challenger is quite an animal to tame especially in 1st gear with the st0ck PZeros she doesn’t want to do anything but spin anything over like 15 percent throttle input.. will be interesting!

The NT05R where not far off these
Here is NT05R times on the street when they where just put on and weather and street was colder. All these runs take place on the exact same strip of pavement. My street 1/4 testing is No burnout, just launch just as if at a red light and a customer came calling next door

Good point!! Just make it even harder to do lol

To my eye the 555 looks wider and squarer than the NT05. Optical illusion I guess. You say they both fit the same, I'm guessing meaning clearance to the bump on inner fender well.

Yes, they clear the bump by about 2 mm

A couple Michelin’s top left for the charger.. and there is 1 Nitto 555RII.. Massive! Haha it puts those 235s to Shame

What width wheel are your 315 R2's mounted on ?

I’m going to mount them on the stock 11inch devil rims on the Widebody

10.5’s, they need wider, going to use an 11 next time

 

[Matt someone with an SRT]

Best so far. Was pretty hot today. Didn’t pre-burnout.. my rear tires were at 32psi hot. Was in sport trans, street suspension, traction control off & using paddle shifters. It was a bit warm so it took 7.2 seconds for it to do 100. If it was cooler I recorded the car doing 3.3 60-100 a couple weeks ago when it was 58 degrees today it was 81 then today so it took 3.7 seconds for the 60-100. I’ll report back maybe tomorrow morning to see if I can get under 7 seconds to 100 on the street with these R2s. That’s kinda my goal I set for myself. I gave it like part throttle in 1st and shifted to second in manual mode and mashed it at about 20mph the tires spun a hair and the car took off.

Just got mine put on yesterday , FR77 20x11 wheels & 315R2 , I like it so far , just took it out for a little & did a couple easy tip in the throttle for a couple gears & they held fine , too much traffic to try any thing real serious. Taking them to the track when I can to see what's up ?
They stick out a little but still look good.

 

[16GoManGoHC2]

Nice!! I like those dual tip exhausts too!!
I took mine to the track with me Sunday with the intention of running the 315/50-17’s first, then the 315 Nitto NT05R then the 315 NT555R2 but unfortunately only got one pass in in 6 hours of being there, got disgusted and went home. A few Street runs didn’t show the R2’s to be vastly better then the NT05R but atm there not getting the best contact patch with the road either, need some positive camber added, hopefully get to put the Speedlogix control arms on someday if I’m ever let alone from doing things for others. It SUCKS I’m the neighborhood and family repair hey could you help me out man that doesn’t know how to say no lol.

 

[Mean Cat]

Thanks , I like those tips too lol , these R's will be better than I had as my street set up which was my stock tires 275's & 9.5 wheels so these new ones will do good for me. Now I have 315's for the street (20's) & track (17's).

I know what you mean about being everybody's handyman , that's what I do since I've been retired.

 

[Grape Ape]

Ok guys, we need to have some track experiences posted on these....

Why do you say the 315's need an 11" wide rim? Because of sidewall bulge? or contact patch? or wiggle on the rim in turns? I ordered a set of the F77 in 11" wide which turned out to be sh&*%. One was bent/warped right out of the box! Now I'm gonna order another brand in 10.5" to help with the poke outside the wheelwell so I'm curious.

Rear tires 30psi hot. Front were 33 hot. Little less than half a tank gas. Got the 60 down 2 tenths to 3.3.. 60-100 I dropped a tenth 3.6 instead of 3.7 today. It is pretty humid 70 here today. This was my custom setting sport trans street suspension using paddle shifters and traction off of course. I think this is honesty about the best you can do on the street. I did a little pre launch twice to heat the tires from 28 psi to 30.. kinda attempting a rolling burnout but as soon as you put the car in second it just does a little jiffy spin spin getting on to full throttle then just goes. If you really did a huge burnout and were on a prepped surface I could see under 3 seconds easily.. and if it’s cooler air temp/DA in track mode settings you can expect 60-100 in the 3.3 second range. Potentially you could get in the low to mid six second range to 100 stock at the strip. So there yo go that’s the tidbit of Insider info I got for you fellas.

I think it's to spread the tire out more.

Sorry you had issue with your wheels , I guess you have the sling shot style wheels ?.....With those theres more choices. I have the 5 spoke wheel & didn't have much of a choice for factory look for 11" wheel. PK is more expensive & his 11" is 21mm offset which would have been worse for poking past fender & the FR 11" is 22mm off set. so it is what it is unfortunately.

The 10.5 should still do fine with 315's.

 

[Mean Cat]

And FR doesn't offer a 10.5 , only 9.5 & 11.

PK offers 9.5 , 10.5 & 11.
