They are all-season tires. If you need to use the same tire on snow and in the winter that you do the rest of the year, they're all right, but there are better all-season tires out there (e.g. Kumho Ecsta ASX). If you don't need to use them on snow, then get summer tires. Any halfway decent summer tire, even the inexpensive ones, will easily outperform the Nitto NT450 and most other all-seasons.

i rode on them on slush/snow and they suck in my opinion....road noise is very irritating too....pretty damn loud.

i'd get falken ziex's over these....or even hankook ventus hrII's

they are just the worst tires in my book.

The Kumho Ecsta ASX is much better. It's about as good as it gets for all season tires, and the price is right too.

The Tire Rack does not sell Nitto brand tires. But Discount Tire does.

i was referring to the ASX since that was where the conversation was focusing previously, and Discount would be a good place for the Nitto's. I dont know their prices offhand, all the tires ive compared prices between sites Tirerack has been cheapest so i just check them and unwittingly ignore other sites.
