Which tire to go with?
I'm surprised you don't have a Tire Kingdom..There in 40 states. That price has to be good at any. So far I really like them, and going to the 255/50-17 really looks great on the car.
I had 555's on my 05 vert and really liked them. The car woudl dead hook, though it was only slightly modded with a CAI and brenspeed 91 tune. Teh tires were quiet and i put about 6k on them before i sold the car. They still looked new and hooked well. the also work well in the rain. I drov eon them year round and in the texas winter where we rarely see under freezing the tires lots lots of grip. In the spring/summer they woudl not break loose for anythig, in the winter they woudl spin at will but still hooked better than the stock tires. FWIW, the NT05's are stickier and sell fro about teh same price as the 555's. I ordered the nto5's for my 10, waiting for them to get here now.
UPS just dropped off my NITTO 555's 255/35/20 Yesterday Im getting them mounted tomorrow. I love the tread pattern I forgot how much tread new tires have LOL. I'll post later saturday or sunday how they feel. Oh and I got them on dicount tire direct for 532.00 out the door with valve stems good price. My Buddy works at Honda so hes going to mount and balance them since their shop has Road Force balance machine he only charging 50 bucks to mount and balance all four.
So far driving on the Nitto's are really different than the Pirelli's. Less road noise sticky, all around I love them so far. When we get some rain I'll see. But I don't expect any problems.Nice tire a really good choice.
Recieved my Hankook's this Thursday. had them mounted on Friday. They are really nice. Very happy with the traction. Funny enough, we recieved a Spring storm here and as I woke up to head home from work, there was 4 inches of snow on the car and the roads were very slushy with about an inch of slippery stuff.
Traction was very good considering the tires area summer tire. Smooth at high speeds and very quiet. If your looking for an option to the Nitto 555's (as I had to) definately try these out.
