Worst tires I've bought and I love Nitto
Bought these tires for my Honda CRZ and the tires legit lasted me less than a month. I've bought cheaper brand tires before and they have never worn out like these. Maybe I got some defective ones but for the front two tires to be bald within a month is crazy.

Perfect for summer shenanigans. These are great for for areas that see lots of rain during the spring and summer. It's a summer tire so if course not the best for winter but if the snow comes in early spring, you can confidently drive without too much slip. I have these on my sports car so I have no idea what the comfort rate is or the noise rate. I'm a very spirited driver so typically they last me a season and that's about it.

Very impressive. Purchased for my scion FRS. They are amazing. They hold you in the turns with the large tread that over laps on the curves giving less of a low profile then other performance tires. The rain has 0 rule over the performance of these tires in the wet. I gave them N/A for noise, comfort, and winter as they don't belong on something that is specific to those needs. There are perfect for raceday and some aggressive street if applicable to you. Also can't hear much over the car so would know if they were quite hahaha. Great tire ?????
