FYI. I just checked the Nitto website and the NT555 265/50-18 is no longer listed. I'm checking availability and if I can find them, I will probably buy two even though I don't need them right now.

Here's a response from Nitto.

The NT555 you listed was discontinued September of 2018. Unfortunately, once a size has been discontinued we clear out all inventory. While we may not have any in our possession, you may still be able to locate them through tire dealers. Their distributors will typically purchase any remaining sizes and have them available for order as needed.

At the current time there are no plans to produce this size in the NT555 G2.

Watch the date codes if you do find any of the old one's. I was bummed when they discontinued them.

Yes perfect for the rear stock wheels. I run 255/45 up front.

Wasn't the NT555 upgraded 2 years ago?

WAIT! NO! Those are the tires I have run exclusively since getting my first Marauder back in 09.

I am sure that this has been answered, but can a 295 fit on the stock wheel? The 295/45/18 is still available. But if you do that on the rear, what size front tire 275/45/18?

Just ordered two from Amazon.

My current rears are good for at least another year.

I run the NT555 G2 255/45-18 on the front.

I saw similar prices on eBay, around $215 each, so I decided to order from Amazon for $218 each.

I probably won't need these tires installed until the summer of 2019. What's the best way to store them until I need them.

tread down. Do not lay them down on the sidewall.

and yes you could have saved 100.00 on ebay. i bought 295-45-18 nitto g2 for 348.00 with the 100.00 discount.
They look great in the living room right now. lol

Away from sunlight (UV rays) , excessive heat and ozone. ( Ozone is generated in small quantities by electric motors...i.e. compressors etc.)
Definitely don't put them up in the attic or out in the shed....
