Nittos and Contis seem to be the most popular on this forum as the performance per cost is very high.

So are you using this as a DD? If not that tire will be good in the rain.

I have NT05's and unless theres standing water on the road I can navigate safely.
Just need to remember to keep the speed down......

Yes when tag and tires are good it will be a DD. Temps rarely get really low where I'm at. During really cold spells I will drive or be in another car. No heater core currently in this car. PO bypassed I assumed it leaks.
