I had these on my Camaro, took them off and gave them away!! I didn't like them at all.

Agree. They are not great at anything. I bought a set in 2018 for $600 new. 1 road course day told me all I needed to know. Though they are still mounted on a set of wheels, they will be up for sale soon.

I recently replaced the stock ContiProContacts on my C300 with Set of 4 (FOUR) MRF Wanderer Sports Performance(here are some of its reviews from https://innovatecar.com that I read before placing an order) and they're amazingly good in the dry and the wet. They grip for much more than I would need on the street and can push them to their limits at an autocross course. I live in the south. It's phenomenal how much it's livened up the car, it's much better in the NC mountains where I drive it and not too loud on long highway trips. They've worn fairly well too, I don't drive all that crazy and I'm expecting to keep these tires on for a while.

Nitto's are a lot cheaper than the pirelli's

My current set of tires only lasted 20,000 miles (Sumitomo HTR A/S PO2)

Looking for something good for dry and rain...

Any ideas?

I would stay away from the nitto motivo from a performance aspect. I have them on my daily driver bmw and I can break them loose very easily. Good for a commuter car though.

Michelin Pilot Super Sports gets my vote

I run the nitto nt555R2 hooks great on the street. 315/40-18

BFG's here. Their good in the rain and wear really well on the staggered set up. As far as traction goes, I don't really know how much to expect out of the tires when you get up in the higher hp levels. I have 438 rwhp and it will need a little bit of babying when flooring it from a dig and a little bit of attention when going to wot from anywhere under like 60 mph. But for the price I don't think you can really beat them. I just bought my second set and would probably buy them again when the time comes.

I just bought these since my nitto g2s were worn out.
I almost went with the continental dws but I didn't want an all season tire since I don't daily my camaro.
They are $50 cheaper than the nittos per tire.

Those seem to be a good deal as well. I just don't know how they compare to the BFG's.

If you're not willing to spend the extra $$$ for the premium stuff, I'm currently running the Nitto NT555 G2's, 275/40 all around, and they've been pleasantly fun, never had them break loose while pushing the car "spiritedly", and holds fine in the rain, not that I push the car hard when it's wet/raining.

Old post, but I'm tire shopping, and stumbled upon this thread. Currently have Michelin PSS on my 2012 SS (600 rwhp). It's very easy to break traction, so I'm looking for a better replacement. I only put about 10K miles on my car since I bought it, so I don't drive it a ton. The Nitto G2s sound good, but how long do they last? I mostly drive in the summer, but will take it out on dry, salt-free roads in the winter, and sometimes in the rain. Not sure if I should go for Nittos or just spring for the PS4s, which seem to be the "best" according to a lot of reviews.


I'm currently running 295s in back, but thinking going up to 315 would help with grip?

With 600whp I’d stay far away from Nitto G2. My LS3 with only a CAI and Borla catback has no problem lighting them up,

Like I said in post # 15, and someone just mentioned, these are GARBAGE!! I gave mine away! Brand new to a friend who need 2 back tires because he had a slow leak in one of his, and they were just about done anyway. They were a hard treaded tire, and didn't grip worth a crap, and were noisey as hell!! One of my friends is running the Nitto 555r2's on his 683 rwhp whippled LS3 and loves them, says they grip really well, but he can still spin them when they are cold. They only thing about them, is driving in the rain can be really sketchy...
