The Nitto NT555 R2 in 315/40 R18 is a serious performance street tyre built for those who want genuine grip without sacrificing road manners. This is a competition-inspired rubber that translates well to spirited road driving — think muscle cars, performance builds, and anything running a wide rear stance.
The 315/40 R18 sizing is a popular choice for classic American builds and performance vehicles here in NZ, and the NT555 R2 delivers where it counts:
- Strong dry traction with a performance-oriented tread compound
- Decent wet weather grip for a tyre of this profile
- Relatively low road noise for a wide performance tyre
- 102W speed rating handles serious highway speeds with confidence
- Built to handle the power — ideal for high-torque, high-horsepower applications
If you're building something special or just want a proper performance tyre that earns its keep on NZ roads, the NT555 R2 is worth a look. Drop into our Manukau workshop at 8 Lambie Dr — no appointment needed — or give us a call on 09 250 1803 to check availability and get fitted up.
