I thought I would start a new tire thread. No questions just a tire review to help future tire shoppers. I bought a set of Nitto NT420S in 255/55/18 to replace my previous miss-matched setup. I replaced the 235s on the front of our SRX about 10K miles ago. I put the stock Michelin 255 rears on the front and put a pair of 255 Bridgestones on the rear (I work for a dealer so the Bridgestones were a good pair of takeoffs from a BMW X5). As I expected, after 10K miles I never found any reason to go back with the 235 fronts. My wife never noticed any difference running the larger front tires.
I installed the new tires today. As I expected the 109V load and speed rating increased the sidewall stiffness over the stock Michelins. I have not put enough miles on them yet to provide a full review. So far the ride has improved, tire noise is decreased, and they feel very responsive.
Here is what they look like.

Price was $528 shipped. I'll do a follow up post in a few weeks, I have a trip to the Carolinas in a few weeks. I expect I will have 2500+ miles on them by the end of the 4th of July weekend.
