Re: Nitto Nt 450 Extreme tires?

["Chris Foote" <darkangel@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is interesting, as I went to Nitto's website and checked out the NT450. It looks VERY similar in tread design to the Dunlop SP9000.

I know Dunlop makes some decent tires, so what makes the Nitto different?

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.
