INFO NEEDED PLEASE.
Hello my Camaro folks, out there, I need some feed back from you all that are cammed and stalled and an SS as to what tires you are running on the rear that will get good traction on the street. I have now Nitto NT555 Gen2's 315/35/20 on there and before the cam and stall they would hook pretty good, but now, not so good. I have run the Nitto NT05R's before on the supercharged Mustang I used to have and they did pretty well at the track, but not so much on the street, they were a PITA, especially on wet roads, and the fact that they picked up EVERYTHING and threw it at your rocker panels it wasn't pretty. So please let me know what you all are running. Thanks in advance folks.

The NT555R is a much better daily driver drag radial. I have them on my c6 currently with regular NT555s up front. Drove 2 hours in a heavy rain and no issue. They are new so as wear increases the hydroplane possibilities does too. The Mickeys are a better dry tire. If you really want a good tire look at some R compound rain tires.

I parked my MT Street SS tires on stock ZL1 rims because they were like skates under throttle. The MT Street R tires grip like a MoFo on 18" reps! But, you can't drive them in the rain...
