Default 2011 Tires Choice

Ok..So being that I have been out of the country for a year, I solicit the input of my fellow Maxima owners. I am about to purchase some new tires. Need two for the rear, the fronts are still decent. So I have 245/35/20 up front and 255/35 20 in the rear, Falken 452. First, I didnt like the stretched look, but being the first set, didnt want to push the the issue with the 275s. But i know my clearance better so..upgrades. The rear are shot because of an improper alignment resulting in to much internal tire wear..so..two new 275 30 20 in the rear next, (plus alignment, and camber correction kit) and in 6 mos upgrade the front..
Pretty much leaning toward the Nitto Invo's or the NT 555... what are some of you all running? Likes, Dislikes?

Side note: I wonder if my progress rear sway bar affected the camber, even though I did get and alignment, after the bar, then other after the wheels...hmmm

What's the width of your wheel? 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, etc?

Nitto is a good brand, but their tires are noisy on the road.

I have 20x10 all around with 38 offset. I'm using 275/30/20 for all 4 tires. That's stretch enough for me, but it's up to you. My tires are nankang brand.

LOL I used sunny, nitto, and nankangs... so far, nankangs are my fav. Less noisy than sunny or nitto.
