I just had my Nitto 555s and 420s mounted and all I can say is WOW! What an improvement! These tires perform better in the rain than the *****y BFGs did on dry pavement! They are extremely smooth. Going over 100 unbalanced there is almost no vibration! I went with 245/45 555s up front and 255/55 420s out back. The sidewalls are a bit bigger out back and I'm not too sure if I like that.

I'm definitely glad I went with these. The car feels like a whole new animal. I still need to get an alignment and the tires balanced

The 420's are simply AWESOME! So many burnouts and they STILL look new! Traction? AMAZING with a blower and 4.30's even!!!

I've got 555's all the way around. Rear looks like the new, the front are at wear markers after 23K miles.

Traction is AWESOME. However, I will not be putting 555's up front again. Considering 420's ...

Curious,, if you don't mine telling us, how much did you pay for those up front Nitto's ???

$262 for 2 Nitto 420s 255/55/18 and $335 for 2 Nitto 245/45/18 555s from discounttiredirect on Ebay. Shipping was free. None of the chain stores carry Nittos and the other tire shop I checked was $100 more plus tax.
