Default Getting new tires

I'm going to order new tires today or tomorrow. I've narrowed it down to these two:

1. Nitto NT 555 Extreme Performance
2. Bridgestone Potenza RE730

I already have the Potenzas and was happy with them. Anyone have anything to say about the Nitto's? Any comments that would help me decide would be greatly appreciated.

I've got the Nitto's 555 on my car, and I love them. If they are affordable, I will get them again when I get new tires(hopefully a ways off). The have great dry traction and awesome wet traction.

Yes Guapo, you have a plethora of choices. I've had Bridgestones in the past. Good tires but the ones I have now were worth the extra money. :thumbs:
