Hate to bring this one up to the top but I too am looking at Nitto tires.
I know Nitto is considered the Rice boy tire of choice but they are cheap and supposedly perform well. Commments from long time users?
They have a good treadwear rating of 300.
I am considering getting my 1 bent 17" SVT wheel fixed and will need new tires on those soon.
Looking at the NT555 in 225/40/17 for $120 each or NT450 in 215/45/17 for $89 each Currently running ContiSports in 225/45.
Since I am running on my stock E1's w/ KDW's I may just upgrade to a 225/45/16 or a 225/50/16.
Nt 450 in 225/50/16 are $80 and Tire rack has a few choices in 225/45/16 as well.
Thanks for the help!
