Default I've never heard a good thing about Nitto. Leave them for the '88 Accords w/ cut springs :/

I currently have S03's and I'm loving them. Mileage-wise, I just rolled over 20,000 on them this week and it looks as if they'll easily go to 22,000 for me, which is a damn sight better than my Pirelli Pzero Rossos did. The S03's were also much more quiet than my Pirellis, though they have been getting progressively louder since around 13,000 miles. Ride comfort has been on par with the Pirellis, which is to say they are decent enough for the stiffness of the low sidewall. Rain performance has been truly outstanding.

I haven't driven the Neros yet, but I may go with those for me next set just because they have been getting great reviews and look to be cheaper than the S03s.

Default I doubt the Nitto 555 is anywhere near the other two from what I've heard...

Both S03 and Pzero Nero where outstanding. Hard to go wrong on either one.

You can check some test results and survey results on our site for more info/feedback.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&amp;url=%2Ftires%2Ftests%2FtestResults Performance.jsp%3FperfType%3DMP%26amp%3Bx%3D10%26a mp%3By%3D10">Test results</a></li></ul>

Default Yup... S03 slight handling edge... Pzero edge in ride, wear and noise... the deciding factor for me

is weight!!!

not sure about your tire size... but in 225/40/18 the S03 weighs 28lbs and the pzero 22lbs
