Can't decide on tires. The will be 275x35x20 on new 20 wheels.

Mickey Thompson Street Comp; or
Nitto NT555 (about $100 more than the Mickeys for all 4)

The NT05 are too soft and too low treadware. Sumitomo HTR ZIII just don't seem to perform as well and aren't much cheaper (actually a few buck more than the Mickeys each).

Just a daily driver car, but in Florida so wet traction if a factor. No snow/ice obviously. They seem pretty dead even from what Americanmuscle rated them (their little scoring system of dry/wet/etc).

MPSS are way out of the price range; staying under $250/tire

Are the NT555 worth the extra $100 really?

i only got about 50miles on my MT street comps... i'm actually pretty impressed so far for them being not worn in what so ever. With all the positive reviews about MT street comps out, I had to give them a chance especially for the price.'

goodluck finding 275 MT street comps though...on national backorde at the moment. they apparently can't keep them in stock... guess that's a good thing. Debating about switching out my 255s for the 275s up front. I originally wanted 275s up front

On a budget the Conti DWs might be the best all around.
