Ok, so the tire place my buddy works at doesn't have the size I need, which I decided to go with 205-50-15, so I'm thinking about ordering these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nitto-NT-Neo-Ge ... ccessories &fits=Section+Width%3A205|Aspect+Ratio%3A50|Rim+Di ameter%3A15&hash=item5ae62192b5&vxp=mtr

Haven't heard much about Nitto, but I read some reviews on these tires and they all seem to be good. Anyone here have any experience with them?

Also, I finally went to the local pick-a-part, and got some sweet stuff for the car. 2 mint headlight housings that I'm going to joey mod, lower glove box for the dual glove box mod, a new vent to replace a broken one, and a new faceplate for the HVAC controls to mess around with. Pretty good day, except for the part when I got stuck at the junk yard lol.

Were they loud at all? I've read a few places that they can be after about 10K miles, but since these won't be used year round, I should be good. Right now it's a toss up between these and a set of Yokohama S drives for about $50 more. Decisions, decisions.

My experience too.
It's not how fast you go. It's how well you go fast.

ahah same here. I'm runnin on Falkens now, the cheapest ones on discount tire. Super quiet, handles the rain nicely, and around 300 treadwear I believe. Very simliar to the s-drives, maybe a little sticker.

If you drive hard you will find that most tire wear more quickly than you would like.
