I just installed a set of these tires on the front of my car in 275/35/20 size on 20x10 wheels.
And yes, I got them from you guys.

Haven't really had a chance to drive the car yet, but love the look so far:

Store near me did 305/30/R20 on a 20x10 but the pic I saw doesn't show a good indication of what it really looks like. Anyone else tried this? I have a 255/35/R20 up front that comes out to 27" tall.. the 305/30/R20 is supposed to be 27.2" tall.. which is a lot shorter than my 28.1" 295/35/R20 INVO I run now. The 555 G2 comes out a good chunk cheaper so I am really thinking about going this route. I kinda like a little bulged over look as I am more oldschool I guess. Thoughts?

any idea of Nitto has plans to release this tire in a 265/50R18?

I checked with Nitto and as of right now there are no plans on adding the 265/50R-18 to the NT555 G2 lineup. The NT555 Extreme Performance will still be offered in this size, though.

Just installed G2's 275/35r20 on the front and 305/35r20 555r rear from Discount Tire Direct of course. Couldn't find em cheaper anywhere else. Ordered late Friday night were at my door Wednesday. Pics coming soon. Supposed to hit 70 degrees in the northeast this week! Time to get her outta storage.

Also doing an SCCA Track Night in America in May. Did one last year with brand new Pilot Sports A/S in stock 255/40r19. I'm anxious to see how the new meats handle the road course.

Matt, the sizes chart you posted shows it available in 295/35ZR20. Nitto's website doesn't show that size. Is it available and when?

Thanks.

I spoke with Nitto and they do not have a scheduled release date for this size yet. We're hoping for sometime 4th quarter of this year.

Christ almighty, what is with all of these tire manufacturers? The Michelins have been back ordered for 1/2 year now, Nitto can't make this size for another nine months. What would you do if you had a Ferrari with a flat that calls for the MPSS 295's? Don't drive it for a year? Matt, how are the Pirelli P-Zeros? Car and Driver rated them at the bottom.

looking to buy a pair of these for my car, 285/40/18s, to replace my worn out goodyear F1s. Any discount promotions by chance?

I agree, availability has been frustrating for certain tire models in certain sizes. In this particular case, though, the 295/35R-20 NT555 G2 hasn't even started production.

As for the P-Zero, from what I've seen this is an average tire that provides decent dry grip. Most sizes are for O.E. applications though.

Are they going to be offering 305/35/19?

Yes they will, but like the 295/35R-20, there is no firm ETA so hopefully sometime 4th quarter.

There are no forum member discounts running at this time, but we do have the 285/40R-18 NT555 G2 in stock ready to ship. As always we guarantee the lowest out the door price; if a competitor has a cheaper advertised out the door price, we'll beat it!

How about the 305/30/20 and 275/30/20? Are these available?

The 275/30R-20's are, but Nitto just sold out of the 305/30R-20 and unfortunately right now there is no ETA for replacement inventory.

Placed order for 4 based on your reply as your website says they are out of stock.

As you mentioned, we are currently sold out of this tire. However, Nitto has replacement inventory available so we can put in an order for you; the lead time is estimated at 7 to 10 business days to your door.

My apologies for the confusion.
