To those that think 50 series are "Offroad" profiles, it's quite obvious they're never done any real off-roading nor any competition driving, but likely done a lot of posing in the parking lots with their slurpies. My Nitto 450 215/45/17's on the SVT are for posing only, and that's what I'll use them for, anyone got some spare change for a slurpie  .
The 450's are a nice tire but give up way too early. I've got 205/55/15's all season tires that will out corner, accelerate or brake them.
*snicker* Yeah, see, my car is doing commuter duty, not...whatever, and so I'm dealing with speed bumps, potholes, pavement transitions, and all the other normal driving crap. Give me a little extra sidewall over the rubberband-on-a-spool look anyday.
