3 months with the Nitto 450's and loving it.


I am very happy with these tires org members. Tire wear is almost non existent, i travel 70 miles round trip , 5 days a week and the the tread seems like its not wearing like the Suckhumos 712's and expensive overated Perelli's.
Grip is on par with the Perelli's ,with a 50' series sidewall, flex it minimal when extreme lane change or going into a corner hard and fast, the tires stick like glue. In wet weather these tires are great, with its radical tread pattern , it pumps away water with ease. Take offs , quick getaways off the line the tires spin minimal and dig in , when i had my Suckhumos 712's ,wheel spin was a huge problem. You could never get on it or leave a light spirited , the Suckhumos just couldn't dig in for the life of them.

Tire noise is still whisper quite from the day i brought them,even at highway speeds, i can actually use my speakerphone feature now without complaining of hearing the other person or the other person hearing me.

I have nothing but praise for these tires , i honestly think they will surpass the 4 month lifespan of the Suckhumos and the 6 1/2 month lifespan of the Perelli's. And no i haven't changed driving style since owenrship of all three brand of tires, i drive my car hard ,fast but not to the point of abusement.

I highly recommend these tire who are looking for a quality tire without the quality price.Performance, handeling, comfort, quiteness , all in a tire that you expect to pay at least $150+ for all these abilities in such a tire. I paid $110 per tire and the highets price i found was 140 ,higher than what i paid per tire, but still ahead of the game of other more expensive tires that promise to deliver but fail to deliver when needed.

All i have to say i will never buy Khumos again, or as i call them SUCKHUMO's! They suck on dry pavements, they suck on wet pavements , they last as long as a 120 tread wear tire which Khumo rated them as a 280 tread wear,just pure crap
The price is a bargin, but you get low quality performance for that bargin price too.

Nittos for every vehicle that i own for now on!

I had the nitto's 450 on my lotus for about 6 months. hated them. they squealed and had poor traction. switched to the 555's, great tire, but wore out quickly. my driving didnt help though. i finally settled on the yokohama parada's. i heard the spec 2 tire was better than the first. so that may be my next choice.

I've got Neo-Gens. I am happy with them also. Nitto's are great tires, especially for the money.
