I loved my Nitto 555 Extreme series tires I used to run on my Honda. If Nitto made the size I need, I definitely would've gone with them again. Instead, I went with Toyo. The Nitto tires performed fantastically, were quiet, and lasted nearly 40K miles (of course the car had no negative camber to shorten tire life).

I would probably go with a different tire...maybe something like KDW2s or Eagle F1s.

The 555's are alright, but i'd recomend spending a little more for KDW's. The KDW's stick very well, and they look sweet.

I have owned most of the major brand ultra high performance tires out there over my last few cars and I have had three different brand 245/35/20's on my G, the 555's are the best so far. Once they get warm they are awesome. Don't get my wrong, there are better tires out there but for the money they are very hard to beat. It just depends on what you are looking for. If you want auto cross tires they are not for you but if you want good street tires I would say try a set.
