The tires are great man idk what you're talking about lol I run them on my supercharged G and they hook great maybe its because the Chargers are fat as fuck

[white_devil]

they're not straight line tires. they're track tires. you want straight line? buy drag tires. this is a no brainer.

[jcurtis]

When doing speed tests, try this if you haven't yet: Start off in manual and in 2nd gear. As soon as you launch and get some revs, slam the shifter back into auto. Motortrend says that's how they were able to get the fastest times on the Hellcat. Let me know if it works for you!

They're not drag radials, test them on a road course.

I just got the Nitto NT555 G2 for my ‘18 Charger Scatpack. 275s’ on all fours. When I ran at the track with the stock 245s’, I had 20 PSI in the rear tires and warmed them up a little. I was launching at 1, 400 RPMs’. My best 0-60 time was 4.8 seconds. On the Nittos’, I ran the same PSI (20), and warmed em up a little. Launching at 1, 400 RPMs’. My best 0-60 time is 4.1 seconds. I haven’t tested em out on the street, but I’m pretty sure I could get the same 0-60 times.

I have to jump on the bandwagon here and say your expectations / test method aren't that reasonable. It definitely sounds reasonable test street tires on the street but unless you've warmed up the tires with a little burnout or you have a great surface to launch from, street tires will spin from a launch on a car with that much power. I run 275 nitto invos (pretty comparable to the g2 in price and compound) on my 5.slow which is less power and less weight than your 392, still easy to spin from a dig. I've accepted that if I want to launch hard from a dig I'll have to shell out the money for taller and wider drag radials. (btw in straight line tire height and pressure have more influence than width)

Bro, no street tire will allow you to "floor it" in a 500hp car & not spin. It's summer time just order a set of 20 inch DR's like the nitto NT555R, or the Great Mickey Thompson ET street S/S 305/35/20. Then switch back to stock tire during late fall, & winter..or give those Atturo's a try. They're cheap. Might as well try em

[stastro]

Interesting. I did 4.6 on stock Pirelli all-seasons in my 392 Daytona.

What tire pressure are you running? Drop the pressure down to 22psi and do a pull to see if it’s any better

[darrentoews]

Your a GOON.. NITTO Tire’s are awesome run them on my Audi A6, love how sticky they are!

[nikolaiiaksenov]

You may not notice it when driving in a straight line, but when your cornering the car, that's when you will definetly notice it!

[ChevySS]

20" wheels + 35 series tires = limited I'd be curious to see if the 0-60 times improved after a burnout or two to heat up the tires.

[SuperZyde]

Ever wonder why there is a "water box" at the drag strip? To get the best traction you have to warm up tires before using them for performance. Even in track usage no driver with an ounce of sense would go out and run hard on cold tires. Warm them up and they will hook. I have them on my 5.0 Mustang with a few mods to get 420HP to the wheels.

[Mrgrit]

Not enough contact patch on 275 . I am going through the same thing with my Shaker scat. I just bought 10.5" rims for rear, 9" up front. This way I can get 315's in the rear. May I suggest this route for you.

[anthonyisgaming]

LMAO... Appreciate your attempt to inform but it's a bit misguided. I stopped watching your vlog at the 2:19 min mark. WHY??? Because you have this idea that tires are somehow going to increase your 0-60 times by a noticeable amount. Like grip somehow equals horsepower because your tires spin less. You must be that type of guy that slams the accelerator to floor and just expect the car to do the rest, like people who look at NASCAR and say "I can do that just as good as them on TV". Let me guess, a Cold Air Box or a Catch Can will increase you horse power too... to like 700 Hp. LMAO. Bro... understand what tires rating / ranking are for. Ride comfort / sound / wet weather / snow weather / summer weather conditions and differences, longevity (20k miles vs. 40K miles). and yes of course traction. #GetaClue.

Curious to know what PSI you're running them at. Running a tire that is wider than your rim will cause a slight bulge in the center of the tire. It's also super important to make sure that your wheel's are aligned properly. Even something as small as changing the tire width will change the car's geometry. I just picked these tires up and my 0-60 is now sitting at 4 seconds flat when launching properly at 30 psi after my alignment.

If you have a scat pack charger say to yourself “why am I racing a family sedan?”

[jkimbrough]

I absolutely love my Nitto NT555R's obviously not the same tire, but they have dramatically improved my 60'. However they are sticky and get really sticky when hot. If the track is hot or I make a run to close back to back I almost bog down off the line and I actually run a few 10th's slower. I've played lots of games with a possible "street" tire, but these give me the best bang for the buck. Less sticky tires spin more and wear out just about as fast in my experience. Handling is compromised. But I rarely do canyon runs anyway.

[randyfoster]

Notification Squad!! Keep up the good work!

[Supercoolman]

Running 275/40/20 Nitto Motivo's all around on a '15 SRT 392. Best time 5.0. I'm getting lots of wheel spin. Maybe I need to roll into it more. Haven't tried launch control yet but practice makes perfect.
