Well I've found the cause of vibration in my front tires...turns out one tire was installed incorrectly on the bead and is now warped. So I need to replace it. I currently run 225/40/18 Nitto nt555's, but they don't look very aggressive on 8.5" wheels. I could either:
replace the one tire for $135+

or get 2 new nt555's @ 245/40/18 for $160 a piece

or get 2 Nitto Nt05's @245/40/18 for another $10 each over the nt555's

The downside of the nt05's is the treadwear, which is half of the nt555's. Also, I've had the nt555's for 4? years running them only in the summer of course and they have almost no treadwear at all, so maybe the Nt05's would last? I don't do burn outs or anything like that.
What would yo buy?
