Default Nitto 550 anyone have an opinion

I am thinking about purchasing some nitto 550's. I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts, complaints, experiences with them. Thank you

these tires are awesome if you dont mind the noise....... if your car is lowered, these are awesome cause they still last forever..... i cant even imagine how long they would last on a stock car............. not the cheapest tire, but since they last so long,,, it will be worth it

they're decent/good tires for the price...
but they are NOT maximum performance tires (ie., SO3s, T1A, PS2, etc.)
remember - you get what you pay for

btw- one more thing, chk out the stickies above for recommendations from tire rack and their comparisons, too.
