Tip of the Month, October: Do not buy the $730 Roush Exhaust which a Mangnaflow rep says costs to $117 make (polished, all ss), buy the $170 Roush Exhaust Tips estimated to cost $46 to make and weld them to another company's muffler. This also lets you choose how your car sounds.

my driving needs are looking for comfort mainly. the cars stock 96gt and i only drive it sometimes not my dd. and the reason im only looking at those 2 is those are the 2 cheapest ones i found name brand.. if you or anyone knows of cheapers ones let me know..theyll already be 700-800 dollars for all 4 tires in those 2 brands
I would not say that the Nittos would be "comfortable", but worthy of a stock Stang. That is to say, I would not go with a lower performance/harder tire to save money or gain mileage. I would expect some more noise than you may be used to, but probably not a lot. Nowhere NEAR what I get to hear on my R888's
... have you ever heard a low-flying crop-duster plane just over head on a back road?
no i havnt herd a low flying crop plane before..and yea i know itll be alittle louder than what im used to hearing on the car, just wanna make sure its not gonna be 2 much louder. and i just dont want a tire that is gonna make it feel like im riding a tractor or nething rough like that..
I am serious when I say crop-duster plane with my tires!
Now, my tires are semi-slicks, so was not surprised to hear that, but litterally looked out the window and up in the sky to see where the plane was headed first time I went for a cruise. This is something I really only hear coming to a stop sign from 25~5 MPH or so and on certain types of asphault. The Nitto's will be nowhere near what I have, but without knowing what you are on currently, now way to even give you an idea. I don't see them as a problem and can compare the two..
Nitto NT555's:
Toyo R888's:
The less tread-blocks, the more noise, generally speaking.
Don't be concerned, the NT555's will be a nice compromise between traction, mileage and noise, have fun!
