Nitto 555 Extreme
Just wanted to make a final check to see if anyone had anything bad to say about the Nitto 555 Extreme's before I drive over to Discount Tire and order them!
I really don't care about run-flats, I haven't had a flat tire in over 10 years so I'll take my chances and stock a couple cans of Fix-o-flat, just in case.
:cheers:

I also switched to the Nitto's, what you do lose is a hair to steering response because the sidewalls are not as stiff as the runflats. I also wish they gave a little more steering feedback, but overall they are an improvement.
