    I recently put on Nito 295/45/18/ 555 - G2 Series rear tires.
    I like them a lot. Much happier then the Hankooks I was using.

    Shop around a little. I checked out this deal and feel they jacked up the price then offered 20% off
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    NItto 555 G2 FTW! I love these tires... I actually asked the guys at the Nitto booth how they put all of that smoke into their tires.... He did not understand, so I explained that I had figured out how to let all of the smoke out of them! Showed him a video of my car tearing the rears to pieces, he finally got it...

    If You do better research, You'll find all the info You need. There's a tire calculator online. Use it. Nitto is the only brand to make a 265/50/18. Just one tire. It matches to factory rear specs. You don't have to change the front size, but why wouldn't You if You change the back?

    Don't even get me started on how junk the 555's are. I have $300+ worth of brand new 555's I just rotated to the rear to Trilogy shred so I get something for my $$$.


    Great traction, nice tread but the carcass quality is garbage!
