Question on these tires
Hi CL peeps!
I would like opinions on the following tires. For daily street driving. Some say the Nittos are noisy/loud tires...is that true? I prefer quieter tires. Size will be 19s staggered. Compared to the Bridgestone S03, Goodyear Eagle F1, and Michelin Pilot Sport....how are the following?
* Nitto NT 555
* Kuhmo Ecsta
* Toyo T1S
Thanks!

toyo t1s all the way. i have them on my 19's now and i had them on my 17's. Awesome grip when it's dry and wet. Great thread design. Road noise is not bad. Pretty quiet if you ask me. I always have my stereo on so i don't notice it much though lol. the only thing you might not like is probably the tires and the thin sidewall. just becareful when you drive. i love the toyo's though. best preformance tire if you ask me.

Yes, overall the best probably the Toyo's.
If you're looking to spend a little less money, I'd suggest the Falken Azenis ST-115.
http://www.falkentire.com/html/produ.../azenis115.htm
"Falken's new ST115 blends high performance and stylish looks with new quiet ride technology. One of the trade-offs in ultra high performance tire design has been the high feedback of road noise. The ST115 utilizes a revolutionary new base rubber compound with micro vacuum capsules that literally suck up road noise, making this one of the quietest rides now available. And don't worry about performance because the ST115 has all the features you'll need to compete on the street.
Quiet ride base tread rubber contains micro vacuum capsules that suck up road noise.
Round shoulder profile won't interfere with suspensions or fenders.
Stylish graphics & rim protector ridge deliver good looks and protect your wheel investment.
Wide grooves and directional tread look good and deliver excellent wet and dry traction.
Performance casing design features polyester plies with an extra sidewall reinforcing ply, full-width steel belts and nylon cap plies...the latest technology.
Lowprofiles, high speed ratings, long wear: 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 series; V & Z-speed rated, UTQG 360AA"
A nice review - http://www.carsound.com/reviews/perf...NIS_ST115.html
And finally a price - http://customwheelsmarket.com/19inlowprofh.html
I have no reason to rep the Falken's other than I've driven a car with 20's and Falkens. It rides as smooth and quiet as ever!
