Default nitto 555

just installed nitto 555 on srt.(275-35-19 rear 235-40-18 front) very quiet on road, slightly taller sidewall smoothed out the ride. highly recommend this tire,also taller tire fills out wheel wells alittle better.

was running michelin pilot sports. a very noisey tire, worthless in the wet, very harsh riding. havent tried the nittos in hard cornering yet. it is snowing right now. will wait for roads to clear up.

Doesn't Nitto have a new tire out called the Invo or something, suppose to be "the best all around performance tire"

bought tires at discount tire direct.wanted yokohama s.drives but they were backordered.dtd sold me the nittos for the same price. I looked at the invos, but the 555s have a slightly better tread wear index and better reviews
