Need opinions on tires

Just put some Nitto 555 295/45/18's on the back. Was going to put 255/45/18's on the front but I love how the Nitto's fill up the wheel well and the 255/45's won't do the same. I was thinking of getting another brand's 255/55 but am hesitant to have different brand tires front and rear permanently.This thing is still my daily driver after nearly 4 years and will continue to be for the forseeable future. I'm leaning towards still getting the Nitto's but wanted some opinions.Thanks!

The "Monk" in me would not allow different brand tires ...

Yeah, I know. It just doesn't seem quite right to me but I figured it was worth a check to see if anyone else does it. Or, at least will admit to it .

I have the same setup, with 255/45s up front, and have no complaints.

I think if your not driving like a madman and expecting mixed tires to handle like a set of matched tires you will be just fine. Its not the end of the world.
