I'm planning on getting some Nitto 450 tires. I was wondering if anyone currently has Nittos(any model) and how they like 'em?
They seem to be rated pretty high, casue I'm looking for some tires with some kick ass wet weather traction.
Also, if you don't have Nittos, what would you guys recommend? As I said, I'm concerned with having tires with the best wet weather performance. Thanks

I've had several sets of NT450s in different sizes. They last long but are not serious performance tires. Not very good in the wet either, in fact, I've had several scary episodes where I've hydroplaned pretty bad. I always seem to get NT450s in wheel/tire packages, but I wouldn't buy them by choice. Look at NT555s, I had a set and loved them.

i had nitto 550s and they were a waste of $$.. I had more traction at the track on the stock radials then i did on the nittos

Ok, so it seems that the Nitto 450's aren't all that. That being said, what brand of tires would you guys recommend?

The kumhos are very good in wet performance. I didn't like the yokos wet performance at all. They hydroplaned way too easy.
