Those guys are crazy. You'll easily get 25-30k out of NT555's.

I just ordered 255/45/18 Nitto Invos as well. They will be put on within a week. I am very excited to see how they perform

I have the sumitomo htrz 2s and they stick like crazy! They last about 20k miles or so (mine have lasted longer though) and are about 100 a tire. Very aggressive tread too.

I think sumitomo started making htrz 3s now so it might be kind of hard to find the 2s around.

I have these too. Dealer installed rims and 235/45/18 KDW2's. Either my car sucks or these tires rock. I can't even really spin them from a dig (unless i powerbrake). Sometimes I can get them spinning depending on the surface.
