Good luck with the Nittos dude, I have them on my 230 and don't like them. Sure they look good, but performance wise they suck ***. I had Hankook Ventus K104s on before and loved them. The Nittos have terrible traction compared to the Hankooks. I tried the Nittos just to be different, but regret it every time it rains.

I can say this my car has 331rwhp and 351rwtq when i got on it at low speeds the orange triangle lights up the night with my old tires. With the Nitto 555's traction control is not interfering anywhere near as much.

what I mean by rotate = swap the positions of the front tire/wheel only so that they would rotating in another direction when they take up the new position.

this will cure some of the heel/toe wear which causes that thumping sound =)
