i have cutouts so noise wouldnt be a problem, if they stock or can order 555's i guess i'll go with those

Was looking into goodyear eagle gt's.. so many choices and all are super expensive lol

Sorry for the mishap man. The new tire you got, do they make em in 275/45/17? I haven't looked at them and when I found out the price for my Nitto NT555's, I just went with them without doing much research but for the most part, I've been happy with them but it's getting to be that time again to get new tires.

Yeah, thanks for the correction, lol. But I don't care about the noise level when I have the exhaust and the radio going all that the same time so it doesn't bother me any. Thanks for the link also.
