not good at high performance driving, squeal like a mofo Tire looks great, and in general I have heard great things about Nitto tires. I have Nitto NT-450s 225/17/7.5 in the front and Toyo 245/17/8.5 in the rear. I must say the first week of driving with these tires, I am dissapointed. Any hard cornering produces embarrasing squeal. Grip is fair, not as good as the "extreme" moniker suggests. I guess this tires is rated Z for the speed, but as far as performance, I don't think it is a good performance tire. My friend has Yokohama Avids, and they seem to stick way better and are much quiter! The 450s are loud as well. I haven't tried them in the wet yet, from what I read in the reviews so far, i'm kinda scared frankly. Similar Products Used: None |

Cheap.
Weakness:
Noise, traction, quality, just about everything that I would value in a tire. Before I purchased these tires I read alot about squeling. After I bought them I was embarrased to pull into my parking space at night because they make a ton of noise. I've had one huge spin out on a highway on-ramp in dry conditons. In the wet it feels like I have no traction. I noticed sidewall cracks on one of them. That worries me alot. What's even worse is that I brought the car to my mechanic thinking I had bad bearing, turns out my tires are the problem. I would say that just because they are cheaply priced did not make it a good purchase. I now will have to replace all four tire after two years with another brand.

Strength:
Aggressive looking tread, Grip on dry pavement, great deal!
Weakness:
loud on the highway, could have better wet traction. You get what you pay for I guess. Very good value indeed. But they're loud and are decent in the rain. Look sporty and do grip pretty decent on dry pavment. Great tires for the price. Similar Products Used: michelin V4-About as good as the nittos and they dont look as good as nittos |

Traction, grip. road noise ( sounds like a bad bearing ) I had a couple of bad experiences with these tires.....first..tried to avoid another car, tires locked up, sliding down the street... grip was minimal....The worst traction I ever experienced...second... fast off the line starts going into corners, tires would break causing the car to slide into the corner...these tires have a low threshold, normal, wet driving is fine, but if you are an aggresive driver than these tires are not for you.
