Thanks again Shawn! Ya da man.

Anytime Dude! Glad I could help. :)

Really shitty about the front tires, the reason I suspect an alignment issue is his rear tires looked brand new still. There is a shit ton of toe out on the front wheels, had we had more time, could have eyeballed in the alignment to get a bit closer to 0 Toe. Right now its like 3- 4 Degrees of toe out for sure, which is redonk.

Crossing fingers on the pulley issue, "think" we found the issue, but I am reserving some judgement till you put some miles on it. The only other thing that looked funny was the auto-tensioner did not look like it was straight either.
The stock pulleys seem to work fine, Mine and murlo's stock pully's look decent after 30 k miles, barring any sort of bearing failure or alignment issues.

So anyone have anything to say good or bad about nitto NT555? Probably going to order tonight :)

Pass. The only Nitto tire worth buying is the NT05, but that's not going to give you the treadlife you want.

Hmmm. I didn't order yet, but I'd like to soon.
So what tire would you recommend? Need something soon.

Sumitomo HTR Z III or Hankook Ventus V12 are both better options than 555. I'm leaning towards the V12's for you.

I get some QTP's! Treadlife ratings are for pussies and for people who aren't ballers!

I will probably get another set of Star Specs for the wife's Evo for Summer tires and rain racing(they are pretty good in the rain) and hopefully some NT01s for dry track.

The sumi's seem alright, but are maybe a titch less grip then the v12's. I have driven on both in a evo x, the v12's will give you the ride you want.

I say just throw on a 2 new direzza's and get the alignment fixed, the 2 other tires are like 75% of new which is not enough to hurt the awd system.

just a note... I drove past Main motors in Anoka today, and they had a big sign that said "All tires, $5 over Cost!"... might be worth a quick phone call not sure what they carry.
