Want some opinions: Hankooks V12's or Nitto NT555
Hey all,
I'm getting new tires for my new shoes and have to stay at the price of the below (about $700) or under if there is better for cheaper.
I'm looking for some opinions because I just saw that I can get either the
Hankooks V12's or the Nitto NT555's within $5 of each other shipped.
Originally I was going to get the V12's b/c I had them on my camaro and felt they handled very well in both dry and wet conditions (street driving), but now I found the NT555's for like the same price and know a lot of guys run them so I figured I'd get your feedback.
Let the floor be opened to opinions

555's are not that good in wet or dry traction honestly... people say otherwise but my buddy runs a 315/35 nitto 555 and my 275 riken's hold my 400rwhp better than his nittos hols hit boltons only car

Thanks for the input. A little late as I already got the tires but glad I ended up going with the V12's.
Tirerack was AWSOME, I ordered them on Thursday morning and they were delivered UPS Ground Friday b4 noon. Can anyone say fast shipping

I would recommend the Hankook V12 which is one of the better performing value tires. Here is a link from a Car and Driver test which rated the Hankook 2nd in a value tire shootout.
