No, they are not comparable. Nitto NT555 are summer compound and the Toyo Proxes4 is all-season. The Proxes4 would likely last longer all things being equal.

yeah i kind of figured that , the dealer was trying to tell me the Nitto's were better i didnt hear anything about them before this post so i declined at the time he told me it would be a wait on the Toyo's , he even told me the Nitto's were all seasons . i even looked at the site and it really doesnt specify a category for it . guess i made the right decision .

i cancelled my order of the rims hoping to find another dealer that has the rim and tire combo i want .

thanks guys
