Re: Nitto Tire brand?
I love the Nitto 555's. I had them on my old '95 Eagle Talon AWD for many years. I now have them on my 2000 Jeep Grand which I upgraded to 20" wheels all around and the Nitto's are fantastic. I can't comment on the other brands, but I would recommend the Nitto 555's. The 450's I have heard are not nearly as good of quality/ride/tread wear as the 555's.
Just my .02.
