Default tire question

Need to purchase new tires for my car and am debating between the yoko avid h4, and the nitto 450. Both are for $91 right now with free shipping from discount tire and I am looking to buy a tire that is gonna last more. I had the yoko a520's but they wear out to quick. The yoko avid h4 have a treadwear rating of 360 and the nitto are 300. Which would you prefer between these two and these two only? thanks

I'd go with the Yok's. Nitto 555 are good , but I never heard good things about the lesser nitto's.

i'd go with the yoko's...but, why are you buying them online? isn't it easier to buy them near your house so that you can get them mounted at the same time...

No go on the Nitto 450's.....very greasy rubber compounds. Not a good performance choice IMO. And I have mounted alot of 450's in my time to make a good judgement.

Go with something else. You live in AZ, there has to be a Discount Tire close to you, try looking there.

nitto is a lot tougher tire, so for just every day driving i would go with the 450's.
