#whipple #nt555r2 #camaro #nitto
With all the extra power, especially the instant torque since installing the Whipple Supercharger on the 2019 Camaro SS1le, we needed to upgrade to some stickier tires to help her grip the road. Of course, we had to test them out and show you guys what we found... What do you think?! Make sure to let us know in the comments!

I'm about to make a tire purchase and you just helped me over the fence on the Nitto 555r2's. Wrap it up!

@JLSpeed 3 года назад

I just got a set of these same tires but i got the factory size 305/30r20 for my street wheels on my zl1. Glad to hear its hooking well from a roll! Thatst exactly what i want from these tires on my car!

your wife is very good with the manual trans...great job!

@jonasblane2157 3 года назад

I like that you have a manual transmission and your car is really nice. I had a 6th gen SS with a manual and sold it for my 2019 A10 ZL1 and added a magnuson 2650. The A10 is great, but there's nothing better than rowing your own gears. I miss it. Enjoy your ride! You're bringing back good memories.

@DroppinGearz 3 года назад

Thanks! I really love it! Rowing the gears is what I was looking for when I bought it... I know for straight line an auto is legitimately faster but I got my car to drive every day and have fun while doing it not for straight lines. Thanks again! Hope you keep watching!

@mjc3502 2 года назад

I dont miss the manual at all. I can race with an energy drink in hand and not worry. Besides, nothing is like the A10 When my zl1 A10 was stock, I raced my buddies zl1, 1le manual and put 2.5 to 3 cars on him and he is 60lbs lighter from the factory. That's why I got the a10 and not another manual.

@jonasblane2157 2 года назад

@@mjc3502 It's not all about drag racing/roll racing other people. The ZL1 1LE with a manual is very fast and enjoyable on a road course and curvy road if you know how to properly drive a manual. The enjoyment of really driving your car efficiently, connecting with your car, and rowing through the gears is something that can't be done with an automatic. For example, driving up and down a twisty mountain road is far more enjoyable in a vehicle with a manual transmission than an auto. This I know first hand.

@mjc3502 2 года назад

@@jonasblane2157 every car I have owned has been a manual. I don't need the manual speech. My last car ran 9.21@151.8 in the 1/4mi. It was a manual. My car before that and that, blah, blah, blah were all manual trans. Shit. My 9.2 car broke more parts than some have in the entire car. Been there, the auto has evolved while the manual has been stagnant. I just finished a 1,000hp build on my zl1 and the auto is superior for racing today compared to years ago. I don't miss shifting while enjoying a drink or having to get into the right gear if a roll race comes. And, for some reason your car is also a A10.. thats weird when you try the manual speech on me.

@jonasblane2157 2 года назад

@@mjc3502 Did you even read what I wrote MJ C? I just said it's not all about drag racing/roll racing. Some of us enjoy driving on the road course and curvy mountain roads and those venues are much better with a manual transmission. You're completely focused on drag racing and you completely missed my point.

@SonicH6265 3 года назад

Thanks for the great vlogs! I’m saving for a whipple kit with tune for my SS.... Is there anything unexpected you had to buy? I still have my original tires that hook alright with stock power but I will be looking at those tires some time after. I can’t wait to join the fun you all are having!

@DroppinGearz 3 года назад

Nothing unexpected yet but recommend Headers and get a custom tune that’s next for our Camaro. Whipple tune is very sub par and drivability is also. We are waiting on headers to show up to go get it tuned.

@SonicH6265 3 года назад

@@DroppinGearz thanks for the reply! Headers and a intake will be my next mods after my whipple..... not sure if I will need a catch can but those will be the next mods..... I figure it will have to breath! Hope we get to see some more pulls and you keep making blogs! They have been helpful.... Thanks again for responding!

@joemeyers1016 2 года назад

Just get the tuner Kit, the Whipple tune is no good. You will want a LS3 crank seal and Mighty Mouse catch can that has a breather. I would also get the LT4 fuel system, flex fuel sensor, and run a blend of Ethanol for higher octane. Something around E50-E60...I have had a Whipple on my SS for over 3 years...trust me when I say that 93 octane really limits the potential... They are too high of compression and you can not run very much timing.

@DroppinGearz 3 года назад

Nitto is a radial and super sport is an all season basically. Not really tires that should be compared. The super sports will have a much longer life and the Nittos will not with a 100 tread ware and not last as lo.. What’s better for the track or to dead hook? then you want the Nittos

Did you put them front and back? Or just back? I've heard to do the 555G2 up front and the 555R2 out back. But I'd definitely prefer to do a matching set.

@XAVERAGE.X 3 года назад

I just got a 2017 Camaro 1LE, the previous owner put some Michelin sport 4s and they don’t hook. Maybe since they’re worn down. But I’m deciding between the NT555r2 or toyo proxes. I want them also for good cornering not just straight line. How do these hold up on hard corners?

@08turboSS 2 месяца назад

NT's dont do well until above 60. R888R's take corners and hook at 20 mph and are just a bit noisy. Id avoid Thompsons S/S and the NT. Plus you must have a shop heat cycle the tires, simply driving on them wont do it properly.

@dtmfab7728 7 месяцев назад

With those new sticky tires, and now you have to keep your eye on the axle shafts and two-piece driveline.

@08turboSS 2 месяца назад

These will spin in 1st and 2nd in a stock V8 SS no matter what and can easily be overheated. So these spare the rear and shaft.

@abbas674 3 года назад

If you launch does it spin

@08turboSS 2 месяца назад

You have to ha e had the tirea heat cycled and shaved. No heat cycle by a shop, I've heard and seen these get loose on stock SS off line in a A10 car in 90°.

Thanks! I absolutely love this thing!!! She’s currently at the shop getting dialed in even better… but as far as the tires… They are great! I will definitely be buying another set when it’s time! They had done great straight line and turns. They did well with normal driving in wet conditions… I mean obviously I didn’t push it in the rain but I didn’t have to baby it either… just use your head and respect the road of course…

These are 315/35/20 for my rears... these tires do not come in a 305 for the 20” wheel... so I had to go wider and taller which unfortunately required the relocation of the wire harness in the rear drivers side wheel well (which is super easy to do by the way, I have a video for it)
