Confused about tires

I'd say they are clueless. Nitto 555 is a drag radial. You don't want to put tall floaty tires on your car either. You would want to go to 235/40/18

You would want to go to 235/40/18 if you want bigger. Nitto NT05 is better choice with nitto, but there are better tires.

hankook rs3 is awesome, Dunlop direnezzia star specs are great too

NT555R is the drag radial. The NT555 is the regular street summer tire. Old and tired design that is prone to dry rot, so I would stay away.
