I don't have my nittos on right now but I did for 2 years (minus winter time) and they handled pretty well. Not bad in the rain with a fair amount of tread left and they hook great. :) Wish I had the money to buy a new set as the old ones are balding. :(

I voted yes, even though they're my summer tires... I have them on from about April all the way to October. :)

Actually when theyre new they are a really good rain tire. After 2500 miles it gets pretty scary in the rain even with 2.73s and the stock convertor.

I just put a set of BF Goodrich Drag Radials on for the street. I have a set of ET Streets on separate rims for the track. I had smoked my street tires so much that I wore them down past the wear bars. These tires make a big difference if you want to hook and not spin.

I used my BFG Drag Radials as a street tire and I was very pleased with wet and dry performance. I only put 500 miles on them until I bought an extra pair of rims so my BFGs arent wasted during daily driving.

i had a bad experiance with them. spun out in the rain at 30-40 mph ;)

Drive my Nitto's all the time. Hook like mad. If you want more bite air them down to 22 pounds and I hardly get any wheel spin.
