I don't know about "aggression" for street tires but I do think the Nittos are the coolest looking street tire I've seen. They look like drag slicks.
They definitely do look different. My buddy has a set on a 07 Saleen F150 with the 23" wheels. 305/40/23s. They look really good.

I'll throw in a vote for the Nitto 420s. Loving my 305/40/23's!

That was the day after I got them on. It's been a little over a year with them and they still look new!

Had the Toyo Proxes and loved the ride and traction but they lasted only about 40,000. Now have Toyo Open Country and they are great. Good traction, smooth handling, have 40,000 on them and lots of tread left.

I just put on new wheels and tires. Proxies ST II's 295/40/20. Cornering is great and and hold the road with confidence. Smooth on the highway and hard lane changes are no issue. Firm, no understeer And they look nice.

Thanks Judson! I'm gettin her ready for a big car show. Last weekend I did a show N shine, The organizer offered me a spot in the building with the best rides. I turned it down cause you have to leave your ride there and Nelly aint going for that!...lol I got one set of seat covers in, waiting on the second set. Truck goes back to the paint shop Monday so they can go over her with a fine tooth comb so to speak. Then its 3 weekends of detailing and final on may 15th.

I keep forgetting to check, but it's somewhere around the 10-12K mark from when I got them.
