I think they are the 440 series, are they good or bad for daily driving and occ. auto-x?

 

[QUOTE=hella_usdm]I think they are the 440 QUOTE]
the nitto 450 which i am assuming that you are refering to is an old tire that has been replace with the nitto neo gen......the 450 was good to a point when it was released 5 plus years ago....i would look into a different tire....i know there are really cheap to buy but i would go with something else personally...the 450 does have some good grip and ok wet traction.......

 

I never liked the NT450s, even 5 years ago, I thought they were

 

i liked them.. but they were noisy tires..

 

There are much better tires for the same or cheaper cost.

Not true. The Nitto NT450 is an all-season tire and is still available. But I think there are better all-season tires for the money.

EDIT: Removed erroneous statement about NeoGen.

nitto 450 has been discontinued in about all sizes and the replacement tire is the nitto 450......the nitto 450 does not have an m&s rating on the tire like the neo gen

Nope. Both tires have M&S ratings as all-season tires.

EDIT: Fixed erroneous statement about the NeoGen.

my mistake the neo gen has a M&S rating on the sidewall of the tire and the 450 does not....and the neo gen has replaced the 450 in just about all sizes
