the 450's and Fz4 arent as good...traction suffers if you push them.

got a chance to go to a tire test last year and saw and felt the diff personally

Nitto 555 are very good tires. I think the 555 is Ultra high performance Summer tires.

I've had 555 Extremes on my 2001 SE for about 6,000 miles and I love them. But, from what I understand, they are summer tires and they suck in the snow. This isn't a problem for me in Alabama, however.

I used to have the 450's on my old civic si. They are pretty good, but noisy at high speeds. They stick like glue in dry weather, but are so-so in rain.
