Default Nitto's or Kumho's

I'm looking for some tires for my 01 GT Vert....I've seen good things about both the Nitto NT555's and Kumho ECSTA ASX's and I was wondering which would be better? I live in Missouri and this is my daily driver, but I do like to drive it hard sometimes....anywho....They are close enough in price that it is pretty much a draw. So give me your opinion I need help!

For a good daily driver tire with still good performance I would say those Kumho ASX's. Thats what I'm running right now all around. I just got them I used to have Nitto NT555's on the back and they wore down so quick in comparison to these. I'd say kumho. If you want some drag radials though. I hear good things about nitto. sounds to me like you are looking for a street tire though.

For what it's worth, I drove through a set of Nitto 555's. Good tire overall..... but, I'm really in love with my new Toyo Proxes. They hook up reall well and offer a nice ride. If the treat holds out, these are my new favorite tires.

I have the Nitto's, I got them for the tread pattern... supposedly they work good, I dont test my car like that.
