Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 or Nitto NT01 would be my choice. The top 5 tires in this list are about the best there is without going to an R compound tire. You're still gonna spin the tires regardless of what you get unless you have slicks on which for the street aint gonna last that long. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/survey...ay.jsp?type=EP

I had the 555's on my GT.
They were better than the stock tires but by no means did they give the grip I wanted.

I drive my car on little road trips...run around town playing with the kids in the ricers...smokin the tires now and then... hot & cold clear days... etc...so I think the
555's will give me a good all around tire...

How noisy are Nittos once they start to wear out?

I'm going r888 or pilot sport ps2 again when my current ps2's wear out. I like them, and maybe going from a 295 to a 335 will help more
