Extreme Dilema

Alright I have searched and Searched some more, First I was gonna go with the Nitto NT450s then I saw about 10 bad reviews about them in the forums, ok fine, then maybe try 235/45/17 on my rims, no go, according to some people its extremely unsafe. Ok fine, no way in hell am I getting Potenzas again, worst rain tire ever. So my dilema now is do I cough up an extra 300 hundred bucks for Michelan Pilot A/S, or possibly give the 225/50 Falkens a try or go for the New Kuhmo KT11s, which aren't All season, and try my luck witht them in the oh so great New England winter. Screw You Nissan and you 7 inch wide SE rims! Any feedback is greatly appreciated, oh yea
HAPPY THANKSGIVING. sorry for the venting too.

I don't want to start the debate over again...but in my "opinion" 235/45/17 aren't that unsafe. The "safety" depends on how you drive really. I admit, I have 235/45/17 on my 7-inch wide rims and have yet to see anything out of the ordinary besides normal tread wear. It's your call...get better tires & compromise your "safety," or go with inferior tires and have a "safe" ride.

Please kill this thread before Y2KSE wakes up......

My real input to this thread is that Nitto is a good tire.
