Nitto 555 g2 any good?

[GavCob]

Hi,
Looking at a weird size 255 50 17.
Nitto 555 g2 is all that comes up.
I do have a pair of 255 45 17 mich PS4 (not the S) ready to go on but would like more tyrewall....
Current tyres are 13 yr old 255 40 17 eagle f1s which have good tread left, been stored out of sun etc

Anyone use the g2 in uk?
Car is cobra turbo shooting for 500rwhp with EBC by gear.

I know the difference between the f1s and the g2 is a 1" extra all around.

Weight? Guessing 1200kgish without me
Regards

Judging by the cars driven by the reviewers here I would be saying........barge-pole!

Nitto's will be very expensive by the time they're landed in the UK.

So are PS4's in 255/45, but the PS4's I got were chunkier than a normal tyre of the same size. In fact, the 275/40x18's were bigger than the 888 in the same size, and wider than the 285/35 I'd also used in other brands.

And have to say, the PS4 has been better for me than all of the other tyres I've tried on the road. Although have not put many miles on them yet.

Hi,
Cheers for replies
Northants have them for 200 plus vat.

Anyway probably keep the ps4 and just slap them on when time comes
