The worst Fnnn Tire in the entire world - Nitto NT450

Let me Clarify. I had more wet traction with my bald race tires than the NT450s. This is the worst tire in the world and should be removed form DOT certification.

Does that sum it up?

Not quite sure how you really feel about this tire...

How can that be! Is Discount Tire lying to us.... :cry:

The word is out on the street, Nitto delivers performance and value. And the Nitto 450 is an exciting blend of performance and practicality. All-season tread features combine with high-speed stability, durability and excellent curb appeal to give you great service all year round.

•Unidirectional tread design delivers wet weather performance, dry traction and smooth ride.

•Double-V tread not only looks extreme but combines lateral slits and slanted grooves that enhance wet traction and resist hydroplaning.

•Advanced tread compound delivers excellent handling with no sacrifice in wear or traction in the rain or snow.

•High modulus carcass, a jointless cap ply and extremely hard filler ensures superior handling and smooth ride.

•Available in a wide range of sizes from 15" to 18" and profiles from 35 to 55 series. V- or Z-rated depending on size.

did you buy them? about the only thing they are good for is lasting forever and drifting, as they never wear out and have no traction.

I think I once suggested that you'd be better off wrapping a bunch of duct tape around your wheels than buying Nittos.

I've got a ton of gaffer's tape... perhaps we should have some empirical data to back this claim up! :wink:

the nitto neogen's are pretty sweet. grip is insane.

I had a set of these on my Neon when it used to be a street driven car, and he's right, they suck, wet or dry! Still have them mounted on some wheels somewhere...or maybe I gave them away... don't care...

Yeah, but it LOOKS good! :P

I think that was the tire I had on my AWD Talon a few years back. They were slicker than owl sh*t but I still managed to wear them out in about a year. It was kind of fun smokin' all 4 :shock:

Oh! rest assured they are going up in a cloud of glory.

I bought the car with them on and had the idiocy to replace one when it corded out from towing.

A little bleach, a lot of boost and a new set of tires are in the works. :twisted:
