Re: Which brand of tire is better?

I have had the Kuhmos before and I will say that they are great for about 8k after that mine got very noisey. The grip never went away but the damn things got so loud in the car that I dumped them for some BFGs. I had them on an 01 Galant GTbad company car. We'll nevre buy a front driver again.

I'm going to say Nitto. I would say they are similar in quality, but Nitto probably has the edge in performance.

I have heard good stuff about the 555s but I have no personal experience with them.

I have the 555s and they are great performers, but they need to get warmed up a bit.

Re: Which brand of tire is better?

i also have the 555's. they've been pretty good to me. i also had a set of their 4 something's on a honda accord i used to have. those were great too.

granted they sucked in the snow storm we had here the other week, but i'm not sure if that was the tire of the whole rear wheel drive thing. otherwise, they've been great.
