Default Another Tire Question

So i went to get in the vette this morning and found a screw sticking out of my passenger side rear tire, been having trouble with it, which really sucks. So i went down to Discount tire because alot of my friends work there and i know they will take care of my car. I don't know how but the tire wasn't leaking or anything but they couldn't patch it, but i really wouldn't like that anyway. Well they put a spare 275/40 they had laying around on it(brand new tire) and im going back on monday to order 2 new 285/40 Nittos to put out back.

Anyone have nittos and like them or should i be looking a different make? I have heard good things from F-bodies and Mustangs but not from vette people so just looking for some help.

The fronts are almost brand new by the way so no worries there.

Don't know anything about the Nitto's, but I am sure other members will give you feedback on them. I went to F/stone Wide Ovals few months ago and love them. They are exceptional in wet weather. Some don;t like the rim protector band on them (appearance issue), but mine is an all weather driver, every day, not a show car. Here is only picture I have of them that shows the tread.
