Default Falken Beta 451's or Nitto NT-555 Extremes???

Which of these tires would you guys reccomend for performance AND low road noise? My OEM Bridgestones are loud as hell, even at low speeds. Falken GR Beta FK-451 or Nitto NT-555 Extremes?

I have the Falken 451's as well. When they are new, they are okay. But when my front tires get fethering, then they become loud.. overall, they are not bad.

neither, I've had both. Falken is ok, but there's better out there. Nitto are to over rated and are soft, so they wear out quick. Toyo or Yokohama.

exactly, sticky and more stick = more wear. Not like I'm sayn nitto are bad tires, cuz they r not bad at all, no where near bad, I just prefer toyo or yokohama over nitto. I had a scion xb r.s. 1.0 and I had 19" r-1 racing wheels and they were wrapped in 225/35/19 proxe4's and they were beyond awsome. I mean crazy traction, rain didn't do anything to them, like if it was still dry outside. I even drove it in the snow, toyo makes one hell of a tire. IMO!

Default Falken

I went with the Falken 451's and I'm very happy with the choice. Road noise is low so far but the best thing was the price. I also like the dual rain channel down the center of the tire.
