2001 Chevy Camaro

Problem: Worn skinny tires, 16x8 rims<br />Solution: 275mm Nitto 555s, SLP 17x9 rims<br /><br />The Z currently runs stock 16x8 rims with 245/50/16 Michelin Pilots that are seriously worn down. Time to add some grip in the form of Nitto rubber. The NT555s are an ultra-high-performance summer tire with 300 treadwear, A traction, and A temperature ratings. Nitto balances good grip with decent wear by combining a dry-traction compound with an optimized tread pattern, created to provide a large contact patch under braking, cornering, and accelerating. We'll be adding more grip by increasing tire size, as well: 275/40/17s will be at all four corners. You can grab the 555s for around $150 each.
