Ordering Tires today nitto or yokohama?
Which one do you think is a better tire. The yokohama avs es100 or the nitto 450's? They are both about the same price. Thanks.

the nittos are good but wear fast becuz of the soft rubber compound.. dunno about the yokos's though... nittos have the "on rails" handling though....

he isnt talking about the Drag Radials....Drag Radials are 555R.

I would probably go with the cheaper tire

Nittos hands down.

I have not had problems with premature wear on my tires, or my best friends. They are the best tire I have ever had for handling.
