Default nittos

when you get nittos do ya just get them for the back or on all four? if all four how do they handle in the bends and stuff. i wont be driving in the rain so that isnt a concern.

Definitly back only, I think they throw too many rocks so fronts may chip some paint.

I have nitto 555R 315 on 17x11 rear and nitto 555RII 275 on 17x10 front. The 555RII's have extra side wall for stiffness and with is on a 10" rim there isn't much flex room! Best tire compo I have had. Handels like a it's on rails! But when is rains that is a different story so I don't drive on those days.
