Default Nitto Tires on my 06 GS300 AWD?

Is this a good choice? Selecting 19" aftermarket rims and they are offering to put NItto tires on them. I have my stock tires with Blizzaks for winter use, so tires will just be for summery use. I hate my current run flats.

Any other suggestions?

for a decent performing tire that gets hard as a rock in less than a year, they are ok...

don't expect mind blowing performance from them though...

My experience with Nittos is they are a stiff-riding tire and not very comfy. The 4 series is all season and should be better riding. The new Invo has me curious because it's advertized to be comfy and quiet to go along with the performance. So which Nitto tire is it?

An inexpensive alternative I had no complaints about is the Yoko ES100.

I have the new nitto invo and love them.

very quiet and smooth ride for a decent price. maybe you can get the invo vs 555? I wasn't satisfied with the 555's on my m3.
