Tires NITTO or Firestone

on my second set. i love em. they are super quiet, grippy and soft but dont wear too fast and very comfy.

I love mine, I've got 30k on my current set. Only complaint is they get pretty loud as they wear down. Great on snow and rain.

Neo Gens are good tires. Good for camber wear and they are not directional so you can flip them.

The front wheels are 18x8 with 245/45/18 Nitto 555s and the rears are 18x9.5 with 285/45/18 Nitto 555r drag radials.

I've had it for 1 week now, the lackluster looks of the stock 16's and the squishy, uncertain ride of the Goodyear's was killing me. Discount Tire was quick to the rescue with a set of Faulken LX-10 wheels and they were nice enough to let me get the tires I wanted through Tire Rack. They advised me to avoid the tire size I selected, but I was certain that it would work. The wheels are 20x8.55\" with a 35 mm offset, gloss black backround, machined face with chrome lip. I wanted to fill in the expected wheel gap, so rather than lowering it, I stuffed more rubber into the wheel well 'cause I bought this car to avoid the tailpipe sniffing experience of my previous GTI. The car sits 1\" higher than before, no rubbing, nothing touching in full lock either direction. The tires are Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500, staggered to 245/45-20 front and 255/45-20 rear. My biggest concern was the front lower shock saddle, I clear it by the width of a credit card, an offset of 30-32 would have been perfect, these tires do not stick out at all. The ride and handling are huge improvements, the extra sidewall actually gives a more more comfortable ride than stock with none of the wandering from before. Handling is now crisp and defined, but I wish for a better feel from the steering wheel as it is so overboosted, the setup feels light, until braking, it seems I have to push the pedal harder than before, I'd like to hear your opinions as to why this is. Other than that, I'm quite pleased, $2100 later.

I'm also getting new summer rubber, Nitto Neogens in 205/45 R16.

NITTO NEOGEN .I just got a set .They did great in the snow are Z rated and 280 tread rating.

On my Sportruck (1980 caddy)(winter beater) I had Firestone Snowbiter studded snows all four. 155/85/13 HONEST to GOD! this truck would leave well set-up K-5 4x4 BLAZERS wallowing in it's dust as soon as the snow and Ice hit.

i'm looking at a set of 9.5 in a 44et all the way around.. i have a 9.5 35et 245 on my rear now and i rub like crazy on bumps..

Those firestones are horrible. The dealer wants to give you them because they are the cheapest option....if you want winter tires without studs, get something better that was designed to not have studs in the first place.
