Question Help me decide...Nitto vs. Falken?

I have narrow down my choice to either the Falken Azenis ST115 or the Nitto NT555. There is only a $20 difference between the two tires. I am getting them in 225/35/19:

Falken Azenis ST115:

Treadwear - 360
Traction - A
Temperature - A

Nitto NT555:

Treadwear - 300
Traction - A
Temperature - A

Any real world experience with either one?

BTW:

Falken is $143

Nitto is $163

Is it cheaper anywhere else?

I had Nittos on both my previous cars and can say that they're worth every penny, traction and wear were great and will probably buy those next for my '05 TL but will remain with the 17" rims.
I got them from Discount Tire but I see that you have a better price...tell me where from??..I hope online..

I have 225/35/19 falken st-115 on a 19X8 wheel with a 45offset, with a huge system in the trunk, 2 12's in a custom box 1200x1 amp, im dropped on a tein SS, had no flat spots, wearing or rubbing, in my opinion these tires are much better then the nitto555, i was going to go with those tires myself but the guy at the shop talked me out of spending the extra money, im def glad he did

Thanks but there is no s/h at discounttiredirect so it works out to be cheaper.

I decided on the Falken's cause it will last longer and it won't be too noisy. I know the Nitto is more of a performance tire but the Falken's is right up there too. I did a comparison between the two and I ended up with the Falken's. Can't go wrong with either tire.

Before I forget, I had the Nitto NT450 before and it was a little noisy and treadwear didn't last too long.

BTW, what Falken's do you have?

I have the ST-115, Pretty Much you had a win,win situation going,really no wrong way to go since both tires are good quality...............For me in the future I might look at the Nitto's,(or TOYO)but only to change it up and get something different.Not because I'm unhappy with the Falken's in any way shape or form......Great Buy you'll enjoy them
