Does anyone on here run these with 750+rwhp. Looking to pick up a set and have been seeing these getting good reviews. But wanted some opinions on here from fellow ZL1 owners. Real world reviews on the street. How do they hook from 2nd and 3rd gear etc?

I'm running stock 20".

Thanks

I can say from experience that will vary according to size. So you will want to post that with your question. What size rears are you on? 20, 18, 17, 15?

I have these for my rears and they hook up pretty decent after they have warmed up a bit.

What type of power are you making? Can you launch hard in second or third?

I have wore out a set of these on the rear and they hook pretty good on the street but for some reason not so good at the strip. No hook until 3rd gear. I am 650 to the tires.
I am going back to the NT05's.
The 555G2's make a good all around street tire.

Yeah I had a worn out set of NT05s when car was stock. I liked them then. Toss up I could get them again. Waiting some more opinions
