KDW vs. Nitto 555
Which one is a better tire?? im about to buy a new set and can't make up my mind. I'll be driving back and forth from school. And I also want something that will give me good traction in the rain. So if you guys have either one let me know what you think about it. I read some reviews and some people love them or hate for each tire so if you guys can help thanks .

I have Nitto Extremes and they're great tires. Handle very well in wet and dry conditions and 300 tread life rating. No tire no noise at all and overall decent price. Good looking tire to boot as well. I highly recommend them.

My KDW's were excelent in the rain. Even when they started to go past the wear bars. They cost a little more than the nittos, but its deff worth it. Mostlikely will be the only street tire I will ever run on this car unless I end up running the new BFG R1.

I went with the KDW2 over the 555s because the tread pattern looks cooler. True story, since they cost about the same, and there seems to be an equal number of people who like each.

I have been through 4 and on my 5th set of nitto 555, and get about 20k--24k out of them, had KDW's and nitto hooks better and last longer i think, my moms TA when she had it had KDW's and she only got 18K out of them, and thats my mom driving, but she will kick the rear aroung once in a while, but not just burn them like i would and she still got less.
