I always like to match my tires...but thats just me. I'd look into the NT555's and the NT05's both. The NT555's will get you about 20,000 miles out of your tires and the NT05's will probably last you just as long as the DR's will. But I had NT555's on all 4 18" wheels that i had on my car. But I didnt think that they offered much more confidence in turns than a conventional tire. Look into the Nitto Invo's. They look weird but i heard nothing but great things about them on SVTP. So im at a toss up for the AFS wheels when i get them to go with NT05's or Invo's.

haha yeah i gotcha bud. didnt mean to sound rude, just wasnt sure what the question was. i like my tires to look the same lol so i stick with the same front and back, just wider in the back. im retarded lol.

But dont put drag radials on the front NT555's look very similar to the Nitto DR's in tread design. So i'd go with the NT555's. Its a good all around street setup. Decent hooking tires(rear) for the stock power and decent handling tires(front) for the stock suspension.

Ya its cool. My question wasn't very specific anyways. My ocd is the same, I'll probably run some potenzas out the back *** well. I kinda don't want 2 different brands of tires!

i dont mind the 2 different brands of tires... its not even noticeable! both my treads look aggressive, so it doesnt bother me. If you had sumi's up front with nittos out back i think it might look out of place... just my opinion though of course
