Need a new pair of tires for street/AX
I don't wish to become a trailer queen so I keep my 17x11s on all 4 year round. I have Nitto 555Rs on all 4 corners right now, but earlier this week one of my rears blew out. I'm looking to replace my rear tires right now. I eventually plan on changing my fronts out, but that will have to wait until next year. Should I get 555Rs on the rear again? They worked out pretty well for this past AX season. Or should I get something else, like the Khumo V710s? I'm concerned the V710s won't be good for when I take the car out on a regular drive every now and then (usually 1 or 2 days a week during the spring summer and fall. The car isn't driven in the winter).
Thanks,

I'm pretty happy with the Kumho Ecsta 700s I've had for awhile. Heck of alot better than my Yoko 032Rs. The 700s did not heat cycle near as bad as the 032Rs. I will be trying 710s next.

I wouldn't drive the V710s on the street here in Germany(always wet), but then again they are "DOT approved street tire". I'm sure if it's dry out they'd be just fine.
