Hey,

I don't have any experience with Nitto's, but so far my new Sumitomos
are driving really well for the price (stock size at tire rack was $75 a
piece).  Good wet and dry traction, but I haven't pushed them enough to
really know what the limits are.  However, $75 for a Zrated tire is
great, even if they do wear out a little fast.  A good buy.
