shopping for tires

I have a stock 99 daily driver. Mostly highway miles. I need tires. one dealer told me that Nitto 555's would work well. Does anyone have any experience with them. I have a spare and jack.

Have the Goodyear GS D3s now. They have been very good on a DD. But I'm thinking of the Nitto 555s next.

We are running Nitto 555RII as well (285/35 ZR18 & 305/35 ZR18). They are fantastic at the track & great on dry roads, but we avoid driving in the rain.

I'm on my second set of the Nitto 555's and will buy a 3rd when the time comes. I get about 35k a set on my daily driver.

Nitto 555's and Nitto 555R's are no the same tire.
