Thumbs up Tire Search! What Should I Do!?!?

I need to figure out what tires I want to get pretty quick. And trying to decide which ones are the best.

Im looking at the

1. Toyo Proxes T1R

http://www.toyo.com/docs/tires/tires...category=sport

2. Nitto 555

http://nittotire.com/#index%2Etire%2Ent555

3. Nitto INVO

http://nittotire.com/#index%2Etire%2Einvo

4. Michelin Pilot Sports

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....el=Pilot+Sport

Here are some of the tires that im looking at that actually have the sizes I need. What do you guys think? What are you running?

THANKS!


Paul

For what it's worth Paul, I put T1R's on my car and so far I am extremely happy with them. Just my $.02

I've always had GREAT luck with both Toyo and Nitto.. especially the 555s. I've ran those tires on four cars now and they've been great.

Not a fan of the tread pattern on the INVOs though.

Pilot Sports are too expensive IMO...

Big fan of the nitto 555. We sell alot of brands, and I still recommend it over others.
