Default Need tire advice ASAP

Looking to order a new set of back tires for my 01 tonight and need advice.

I'm currently running Nitto 555s all around with the front tires only about 4 months old 275/35/18 front and 275/40/18 rear (18X9.5 mags on all 4). I'm wanting to go a little wider in the rear since I can't hook up at all right now.

Should I get 285/40/18 555s or 295/35/18 INVOs?

I have the INVOs now on my car, and liked the 555's and Falken Azenis better....

The INVO is a better daily driver tire. It lasts longer, is quiet, and feels a little more comfortable to me....

....but when they go I am getting Azenis again. (my thoughts on them here )

I vote 555s.

I have 305 Invo's on the rear and love them... Have traveled many long trips and are great handling. I vote for the Invo's....
