By utilizing a racing concept
design, Nitto Tire's engineers developed the
NT-555 "Extreme ZR". With a specially
formulated compound and one of the biggest contact
patches available, the NT-555 provides superior
traction, reliable handling, and delivers total
vehicle control.
The three-circumferential grooves
channel water efficiently, while the lateral
grooves break up the water wedge. This combination
of grooves and channels reduces the chance of
hydroplaning.
