    My Nitto Motivos are neither noisy nor floppy. I love them and plan on another set when these wear out.

    The 5yr olds stitching up Nikes seem to make good products. Why wouldn't the same 5yr olds make good shoes for your car?
    I eat apples until my stomach feels much more full than its normal.

    My 555s are very quiet and am pleased with the ride! What sizes did you run? I had 420's on the rear with a bigger sidewall and they were sloppy due to the amount of flex.

    255/45/18 on the front.

    Maybe I just had a bad set.

    I agree. I just purchased the Nitto 555's (265 50 18's) for the rear. I am pleased with them so far. I currently still have the 235 BFG's in the front that still have plenty of tread. Looking forward to putting some 255 45 Nitto 555's on the front when the BFG's are worn out.
