 Anyone tried Nitto NT 450 Extreme tires? I considering 205/55xVR15s for my
 M3, don't know anyone that's used them. Opinions? Experience?
 
 TIA >>

A definite poseur tire.  The entire Nitto street line was created as an 
affordable alternative for those looking for low profile tires, without 
caring about handling.  Great marketing campaign.  
Owners that bought them and who actually care about handling repeatedly 
complain about squealing and sliding at far less than extreme cornering 
speeds.  They are designed purely for looks.
