Default tires!!

trying to figure out what's going to work the best. all these are around the same cost, but from different dealers and online vendors. I just can't make up my mind.

Nexen: N3000, or N7000

opinions please... mainly Summer driving, occasional wet. No plans for much track time (if any). and I'm going with 275/40/17 all around.

I would have to agree, Nitto makes awesome tires, NT-05s may not be good in the rain tho. I personally have Nitto Invos on the back of my car, and I love them.

Nt05s are not that great in the rain... I still love the regular 555s excellent dry and wet trac and good tread life. Can't go wrong
