Default Nitto NT555ZR vs INVO vs Potenza RE760 vs Sumitomo ZIII

Hi

I need to buy a new tires for my Stang GT 07, 255/45/18 8.5

I'm a daily driver but I enjoy Fast accelleration and drive fast, the noise is not a problem for me.

NT555,INVO and RE760 are Ultra High Performance but the Sumitomo ZIII are Max Performance. I have heard good thing from Nitto for Track Traction, but I will not use the car in a track.


What do you recommend?

NT555 UTQG: A 300
INVO: UTQG: A 260
RE760 Spot UTQG:A 340
Sumitomo ZIII: AA 300

the Sumitomo had a superior traccion and Tire category, however I don't have heard thing from ZIII installed in Mustang

thanks in advance

I had the Sumitomo HTRZII tires on my car and I loved them. Cheap as hell and they hooked up decently. After 10k miles, there was very negligible treadwear.

I have not run any of the tires listed, but will give you my $.02 anyway

NT555 UTQG: = Nice tire, good traction and overall value

RE760 Spot UTQG: = Appears to be an OK tire, but don't see it working for you

Sumitomo ZIII: = More aggressive tread pattern than the Potenza's, but not my fave

INVO: = Not my fave tire in Nitto line, but would def. choose this over others.

The Invo has a better support bolstering on the outter edge of tire for the corners and see it as addressing heavy rain/puddles pretty good. If you want more info, seems as though you have done some pretty good research though, hit up Choosing a new tire thread and may be helpful.

I love the Nitto's they are sticky and perform well in the rain, I definitely recommend them! Sorry for got to mention they are the INVO's
