These tires are SO quiet and excellent so far. (shop for local installation...I paid $75 to balance and install the set.)
This is a perfect example of someone that has no clue about tires! This is why you can't take any consumer report serious. Nittos are amazing tires, thats why alot of people on this forum run them. My best friend owns a tire shop and we have sold a ton of nitto tires I run them on everything. Nitto trail grapplers on my diesel, invos on my camaro and nt555r on my Zo6. This guy wants to recommend a tire I wouldn't give you 5 dollars for . I love this forum for the most part but you always get some expert that has no idea what their talking about. Nitto has done all the R&D on there tires and are proven to be amazing rather your stock or high HP.
