Default Help Tire Gurus

I have narrowed my choice of tires down to 2, however I would love some feedback on them before I make my final decision. The 2 choices are NITTO Extreme 555 and the Bridgestone S-03 Pole position. Concerns I have are mostly road noise, handling and tread wear. Tire size is 245/35/20, price is about the same 235.00 ea. Anyone that has had experience running either of these, please give me your opinions. Thanks in advance GS4SHO

No doubt about it: the Bridgestone offers the latest & greatest in rubber compounding, belt design, and tread optimization.

Not that the Nitto is a bad tire: it's just relatively old compared with the new S-03.

S03 no question about it. Nitto is a good tire, but for the same price, go with BRIDGESTONE

Bridgestone S-03 all the way...unless a longer lasting tire is more important...then get the Nitto's...
