Thumbs up Got my new 450 Nittos put on today

Yep, I got my NT450 Extreme Nitto tires put on today, and I love em! They are some of the sweetest looking tires I've seen, but I haven't seen many people who have them. So I was wondering If anyone else here have them and what they thought of them compared to what other people have.

Hi,
I liked the way they looked too. 450 extreme. Bought a set at $119 each.
But, they have to be the worst performance tire I've ever used and I have used plenti....
Including
Comp TA ZR's
Gatorbacks
GSC's
Kuhmo 712
Goodyear RSA's
Firestone Firehawks
Bridgestone (can't remember model)

The Nittos and RSA's were the two worst. I could spin the nittos if I just thought about it and they squeeled like the RSA's in the turns. Pumping them up to 35 psi didn't help much.
The only thing I can say good about them is they did do good in the rain and I sold them for $200 for all 4.....LOL
BTW all the tires mentioned were 245 50 R16 size.
If you want a decent "cheap" tire get the Kuhmos. I paid $85 a piece for them and they are at least 30% better than the Nitto 450's. Hate to sound negative because the 555's and 555 Drag radials are great.
My .02,
James
