For new tires I want to like the Nitto tires but back when I had a turbo AWD Mitsubishi everyone raved about the Nittot NT550 tires so I got them and didn't like them. The sidewall flex was much more than whatever the factory tires were. The stuck fine but I always seemed like I was leaning or slipping when I entered a turn. But these are different tires, different sizes and 10 years later so a lot is different.
