okay my passenger side's rear Tires RAn Flat, so here is some of my thought about Nitto Extreme R555 performance/reliability.

the Nittos performs firmly during these 9 months I had them, I don't blame it for running flat because I've had 15000 miles on them, (my pervious GS300 and now the 430). I think the Nittoe grips pretty well in the dry condition if not the best. In wet condition however, I haven't gone fishing even going through a water spot during a 100mph race.

I am switching Bridgestone's Potenza SO-3 for my 2 rear tires. 255/35/20. and I expect more of out this 720 upgrades. ^^.

Overall, Nittos are very satisfactory, it is very quiet and grips well. and most importantly LAST long. I will see what SO-3 can do later = )

Ill take that into consideration when I get tires for my wheels. Didnt like the avs model 5 I dont Think.I guess like a wed wheel in silver would look pretty solid.Has anyone ever put or seen a billet wheel on a gs. I think it would look killer.Hartwheels site was under constriction.What about axis speed six?
