Default Nitto NT450's?

I picked up my mugen rnr's a couple weeks ago and the previous owner had purchased new Nitto NT450's , 205-50-15 for them. When I get up to like 60K the tires are loudddd, I mean.. like real loud! I have them at 30psi all around, am I doing something wrong? Or are they just crappy tires. There very sticky and I can bomb around the country roads with them, but I dont know much about them, any help would be apprecaited..

hmmm... I'd imagine nearly any tire would be loud at 60,000

Seriously though the NT450 isn't that great of a performance tire, imo. I had them years ago on a CRX and was pretty underwhelmed by their performance... I can't remember if they were loud or not though

Nature of the beast. Went from nitto 450's daily to azenis for the track. Loud at all speeds on the nitto's.

Try increasing to 32-35psi. But I doubt they would affect the noise much.
