Hey Guys,
I am picking up some 18x8.5 rims soon and I want to run 255-45-18's all around. I need to pick some tires for these. I am really leaning towards getting the Nittos but I am not sure which ones. Either the Nt450's or Nt555 (regular ones, not the drag radial). These tires will be for summer only. I am looking for something that will have excellent wet and dry traction, not be too loud, and have a decent ride. I have heard good things about the Nittos so that is where I am leaning. Anyone have any advice for me?
Thanks

B) I'm also thinking about 18" Nittos. Who recommended the 450's over the 555's and why?

I am going with Nitto 450 255/50x17 in front and 275/50X17 in the rear. They were recommended over the 555s.

A local tire dealer...I could get them in the 255 and 275/50 which are not available in the 555.
