Just got 225/50/17 nitto 450's, all i can say is wow! A big improvement over my Khumo's. Road noise is non existenet, grip is unbelievable,and i notice acclerations are slighty faster because the tire being lighter than the Khumos. Tread pattern is really cool,very aggresive.Had a chance to test in a heavy thunderstorm yesterday afternoon going 65 mph on the highway and the tires stuck like glue and plowed through the rain with ease.

Ride is very smooth when cruising, when going around long sweeping bends at higher speeds than posted the tires don't sqeal, they just stick and keep the car stable, something the Khumos failed misrably at! These tires are on par with the Perrellis that i brought before the Khumos, just not the wicked expensive price of the Perrelli's, a whopping 209 a tire! I paid 106 a tire! Just 500 bucks for mount and balance for all 4! I saved a bundle this time!

Treadwear is 300
Temperture A
Traction A
