they are both 300 treadwear and both A for traction...

which is better? nitto 450 or toyo fz4??? and why???

 

Nittos 450s suck *****.......I got them and Ill never get them again....I dont know about the other ones......

 

why do they suck?????????????????

they are supposed to be really good tires...

 

Well....they suck in the rain....spin all over (excessively).....on dry pavement they are also pretty slippery.....i dont make that much power and i smoke them all over the freakin place,like way rediculous......just my opinion....but i have never heard some who has them be happy with them....go with a parada II or something a little more aggressive....

 

those are my only choices to upgrade to in the wheel and tire package...

the nitto 450 are supposed to be really good... i dont kno why everyone has such different opinions... *sigh*

 

I have the nitto's. On a scale from 1-10 I give them a 5. I won't buy them again though. The do suck in the rain big time. On the dry... if you get them really hot they will stick ok... but usually the spin like hell. On crazy turns they break loose before I think they should... UNDERSTEER!! If that's your only choice... go for them... they're fine... just not excellent. Good Luck.

 

Go with the Toyos. 2.1 60fts speak for themselves.

*The only Nitto I would buy would be their 555R's*

 

Go with the Toyo's. I would Never conciter a 450 as a tire to put on my car.

Go to http://www.tirerack.com and read up on the 2 tires and see what kind of feed back each tire gets. That should aid in your decision preocess.

 

i heard they suck too, i was about to buy them for my wheels yesterday and my friend talked me out of it....dont knwo why though

 

I have the FZ4's on my car. They are great in the rain. But I didn't have much to compair them with. They have decent traction. Quiet on the highway. Haven't had them more than a month so I haven't really tested them at all. I can't remeber right now where I ordered them from but I can check if you want. I paid a little over $70 each. Set of 4 came to about $260 with shipping.

 

i would get none of em. read here https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=457655 to find out why.

i never had a prob with my Toyo FZ-4's. Pretty good handling, quite, all around good proformer. Had to even use them in a slight snow once.. obviously not the best option at all for that, but they did decent. In dry and wet though they were a
