Nitto 450s Opinions?
This tire comes in a 225/50/17. 800 revs per mile. Anybody use these on a CL? Opinions?

I've also read that they get noisy and dont last very long. No personal experience though. Consensus seems to be Sumitomo HTR+ for all around improvement, or Bridgestone Pole Postion S-03 for ultimate handling.

I personally owned the NT450's on an Integra for one year.

In that year I got three bubbles and a puncture.

They squealed everywhere I went, even at the slightest push...

they are horrible in rain, I nearly flew off the highway one time...

STAY THE F AWAY!
