Default Which tire is better???

I have been looking around for a new rim/tire combo for the spring and I was wondering which of these two tires are better...

NITTO Extreme Performance NT555 Tire (255/45-18)
or
Sumitomo High Performance HTR Z II Tire (255/45-18)

Are you looking for a summer tire or an A/S tire?

Wife always knows best. Doesn't matter if she's wrong, she still knows best.

Oh BTW, Nittos.

Summer for the most part. I store the car for the winter. I drove it this year until the first snow fall.

I hear theBfGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW(http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/overv...-a-kdw/22.html)is a great summer tire... If you want something more for dry and wet roads I just bought the Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S (http://www.goodyeartires.com/eagle/eagleF1AS_innov.html) andthey really help my car grip the road better dry or wet

Go with the Nittos, but the Sumos are ok for the price.
