Question Nitto NT-555 255/40/17 are these good tires?

I have been looking all around for tires for my 93 GT and I have been recommended to buy the NT-555 by Nitto. Are these a good tire? What is the tread wear like on them? I read they are great "warm weather" tires and have superior wet traction/hydroplaning resistance, what do you think? Please and Thank You.

They seem good. In a review I read, they got an overall of 4/5 stars and 4.2/5 for tread wear. People seem to complain about how they handle in the rain and apparently they can be noisy at times. They still seem like an overall good tire. They are definitely good "warm weather" tires. Make sure you look around and research a lot before you make a purchase though. Go to a local tire shop and talk with them for a little while, just so you can get a feel for your options.
