Default Nitto NT555's anyone have?

Hey all,

I'm no longer going to use DR's on my car, it's just not safe for daily driving with all the rain we get here. So I want to buy new tires all around and I wasthinking of going with the NT555's 245/45/17 in the front and NT555's 315/35/17 in the back. Anybody using these and what do they think of them and how do they look?

I had them on the Cobra for awhile Christie and thought they were pretty good.Ran them on the front after I bought the DR's.
