Thumbs up Which tires to buy ?

1) Nitto NT555
2) Falken FK452
3) Bridgestone 760 Sport
4)Yokohama S-Drives
5) Dunlop Star Spec

I am looking for a good set to put on my S, 225/40/18 & 255/35/18s. Looking for something that has LOW Noise, & will be driven lightly with moderate speedy drives. Thanks -Ken

Performance-wise, none of the other tires you listed are in the same league as the Star Specs. I nave no clue about noise.

If you want low noise you want a ultra high performance tire. The Star Specs are great and I would get those over any other tire in the market IMO. They're a Extreme summer tire so road noise is inevitable but you'll love the grip.

I just put the 760's on this weekend - I have only driven about 50 miles so far.
