If you are just driving around you don't need to spend big money just imho. Hankook ventus avon continental alot cheaper brands that will work fine. If you want performance for sporty driving then those are great also nitto 555's are good.

I've had NT555s as front tires for years and the road noise is not that noticeable. They also perform very well, and they are priced pretty reasonably for what they are.

i have the 555's and i like them for a DD tire. They hook up way better than the stock eagle f1's. Price isnt bad either.

I have a square setup of Sumitomo HTR ZIII 275 40 17s on my set of 35th LE replica wheels if you're interested. They are a very good tire, great in rain and have real good bite cornering and semi good hooking from a dig. Also very quiet. Look up the reviews, super budget high performance tire!
