Nitto 555 Tires...Who has them? Quality?

Anyone have Nitto 555's on their G? I had Nitto's about 5 years ago and they had terrible grip on the road, especially in rainy weather. I am wondering if the newer Nitto's are good or not...Any feedback would be appreciated...

they're only good for dress up. I would never consider those on a G or any performance car.

I want to get a tire that won't pick up as many rocks as the Pilot's...any suggestions? Someone told me that the Pirelli's don't have too aggressive of a tread...

IMO, better grip than the OEM Pilots. But then again, I'm using a wider profile vs stock, all the while being cheaper than Pilots.

agreed. they're my next tires. even though i like the grip of the T1s' more, the Grb's are quieter .
