Falken Ziex ZE-502 vs. Nitto NT-555
Okay... I need to look into gettin' new tires soon... I have Nitto NT-555 235/35/19 right now.... should I stay with it? Or go with the Falken Ziex ZE-502? I picked these two because they are around the same price range (cheap). Or if anyone has any other suggestions... please feel free to comment.

The Falken is an all season tire while the Nitto is a summer only. The Nitto is a Z rated tire while the Falken is a H vs V. (Doubt youd need higher anyway). The Falken has a higher tread rating also so it should last longer. They are both only have Traction Ratings of A, but Id think with the softer rubber the Nitto would still give better grip.
If it was me for the same price Id get the Nitto. Id go back to stocks in the winter so all season vs summer only makes no difference to me.

You think they're loud? I don't have a problem with it.. but if I could compare them to another brand at the same size tire, I may be able to see (or hear) the difference. So, do you have any recommendations? The only sound I noticed from day one is when you start moving or slow down to around... 5mph... you can hear that... pattern of the tread... but it's not bad to me...
