“tire question looking to upgrade my tires, i’m running 315s in the rear and can’t seem to hook up still so i want to upgrade. i’m between the Nt555 g2 and the Michelin pilot sport 4s. the nittos are over a thousand dollars cheaper but ive heard they don’t hook up nearly as good. i’m making 450 to the rear wheel so i don’t know if that applies to me but is the price difference worth it for the michelins.”

Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
Tire A Eagle F1 Supercar G:2
Not enough owner reviews yet to extract themes.
Tire B NT555 G2
Pros
- Aggressive, visually appealing tread pattern and sidewall design
- Exceptional value and lower price point compared to premium brands like Michelin or Pirelli
- Long-lasting tread life and slow wear rates for a summer performance tire
Cons
- Poor wet-weather traction, with multiple users reporting hydroplaning and a slippery feel in the rain
- Lack of straight-line traction and wheel spin under heavy acceleration, especially on high-horsepower RWD vehicles
- Subpar performance in cooler temperatures or cold conditions, requiring heat to grip properly

Tire A
Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar G:2
We haven't collected enough community discussion about this tire yet.
Tire B
Mixed
Nitto NT555 G2
Community opinions on the Nitto NT555 G2 are mixed, often positioning it as an affordable, good-looking tire with decent tread life that performs adequately in warm weather. However, many enthusiast drivers note that it struggles significantly with straight-line traction, wet weather grip, and cold temperatures compared to higher-end alternatives like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.

“Update: went with the 315 NT555 G2 Just an update after I asked here recently if anyone has or has had these tires. A lot of you suggested to go with the DR’s, but that wasn’t quite what I was after. Soon I would like to get a second set of wheels for the rear and throw the DR’s on those, though. Anyways, here’s them on the car. 315/35/20.”

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
