It’s interesting reading so much praise on here but on Facebook I have been hearing a lot of people complaining that they are terrible?
I have. 05 gt, with a 2013 6060 and 4.10 gears, makes about 500 wheel with a m122. My 295/35/19 super sports are old but I can spin through 3rd. I’ve looking to get new tires for 11” wide rims should I try these or spend the extra for new super sports?

Btw

How much were these.

Just comparing to in person shopping.

I normally buy mine at discount tire

But have them mounted elsewhere

They seem to have low prices when I shop

ON Line Tires --with promo code discount $134 free shipping. I could see the 555G2s getting bad reviews from people with high horse power, but these are not Nittos drag tire and for me im not going to be dragging or burning out. They are supposed to be a a good tire for some autox and other spirited driving. The 255 45 17 Nittos have a tread with of almost 10".

276 here for a pair walk in carry out

138 tire with out haggling

Not bad

I do believe discount will price match also But will bring up your discount which in return makes them lower

I have the Gen2s on my 13 GT500 and they hook well even in 45-50 degree Ohio weather; of course mine are 315/35 R20.

After a few hundred miles on these here is my review.

Pros. More quiet than what was expected, Excellent grip and handling , probably would make a good inexpensive autocross and track tire for those who need to stay with a double duty street and track tire.

Cons. The ride is horrible, one of the worst Ive experienced, they ride very rough and harsh even at 30psi. And this is the reason I cant recommend them, have to cut my losses and find something else in my size which Im sure will be way more expensive. lesson learned from these.

That's really surprising. I don't think I've heard of anyone having ride issues. Even at the lower sidewall heights.
