The Nitto NT555RII 345/30R19 is a drag racing radial tire designed for drag racers who prioritize maximum acceleration performance at the track while maintaining the ability to drive to and from events on the street. Its specialized tread compound and reduced tread depth focus on delivering optimal dry weather traction for drag strip launches and high-speed runs.
The NT555RII features a dual-purpose construction with a special tread rubber compound engineered specifically for drag racing applications, combined with a reduced tread depth that maximizes contact patch and grip during acceleration. However, this competition-focused design means the tire will wear faster than standard passenger tires and offers limited wet weather performance, with manufacturer warnings against use in standing water, near-freezing temperatures, snow, or ice. Based on 42 driver evaluations, users recognize its specialized nature and track-focused capabilities.
