Yokohama v/s Nitto

Looking for a tire in 275/35/18 to go on my 18 x 9.5 Polished Z06 rims.

I've narrowed it down to these two: Yokohama ES 100 or the Nitto 555 (not the drag radials the regular ones)

I like the Nitto having a slightly higher Treadwear. This will be a daily driver in dry/rain. I also would like good traction when launching.

Thoughts, comments??

Thanks

Tread wear and traction go hand in hand.

for the above post.. everyone I know that has had the BFG KD has not liked them more than the Yokos ES 100s.

The Yokos are great for the price and better than many tires costing more than 2x's as much.

I have them all around and only use them now as I havent found a better tire worth more... Besides P Zeros.. heh but I dont want to blow that much on daily driver tires.. I have other sets of wheels specifically for their purpose.. Save $ on a VERY GOOD set of dailys and use the savings to buy used wheels and new tires for road racing or drag racing or both..
