The Nitto 555s are the biggest piece of craps there is. I hate them with a passion that cannot be measured. If I wasnt so damn cheap I would go outside and stab a hole in all of them right now.

What about the Yokohama AVID ENVigor? They come in the same sizes as the stock Bridgestones, have UTQG ratings of 560 A A, and are all-season. They are cheaper than the Bridgestones, but all-seasons won't have the same grip of summer-only tires. They are new, so there isn't much (any) information out there yet. I only got 21k miles from the original Bridgestones so I'll trade a little grip for longer tread life. I just ordered a set yesterday to be installed this Saturday.

I looked at a set of those yesterday and they definitely looked interesting. Discount Tire has a $100 off sale this weekend, so you should really get a deal if you go there. Keep us posted on how these work out in comparison to the OEM Bridgestones. I'd be interested to hear about the ride quality, handling, and how well they do in the rain.

Is there a size at Hankook that will work for the front of the sedan S model? My dealer says there's nothing that will work and can only get a size for the rears.

Yeah I would not recommend them to anyone. I bought them and they are only decent on dry pavement

dont get those AVID ENVigor, looks like a basic all season tire and handling will probably suck. you got the sports package so might as well get some nice summer tires
