Default which tires?

hi guys.......i'm looking around 4 new tires 4 my ordered wheels, i did a search and got some info but i want a fresh up to date opinion on which tires to get and what specs if any i might need. ok i ordered chrome zauber gettins...20x8.5 front normal disk and 20x10 rear super low, for my 1998 gs. i want 245/35/20 front and 275/30/20 rear , i was thinking of toyos or yoko's but not nitto i hear they r loud. basically i want some nice tires that will not cause too much road noise. what do u guys think or have ?

Bluelex, I fear the pictures of your car with the chrome Gettins.I was soooo torn between the polish and the chrome.I decided on the polish, i think for a black car it will be straight, hopefully the "photoshopped" version wont lie

strance, i was torn between chrome and polished too, i've always been a lover of chrome but when i saw that polished , it really messed with my head. it looked so clean and xcuse my french "PRETTY" . but i decided to go with my first choice, i hope i made the right decision. i'm sure we will both b really happy!!!!

you'll like those tires! Couple of my comments would be sure to rotate the fronts and once they wear down they will get road noise........... vrrrrrrrrrrrrrr............... you'll know when it's time to replace them. They're great in the rain!
