Se-rDriver 08-06-2002, 01:53 PM Lookin at buying some wheels and I want to get some nice performing tires but I am stuck between the Kuhmo Ecstas and the Nitto NT-555. Tell what ya think.......... Se-rDriver :D Thrillseeker197 08-06-2002, 05:45 PM I dont like Nittos all that much. Kumho's are a good all around tire, decent in wet/dry; good treadrating compared to Nitto's too. IMHO for the price....get Kumho's Kyle myUsername 08-06-2002, 08:29 PM If you're planning to drive in wet conditions and live, avoid Nittos at all cost. My .02 cents. Se-rDriver 08-07-2002, 07:59 AM How are the Nitto's in dry weather? I hear alot about how sticky they are. Benito Malito 08-07-2002, 05:24 PM I'd get Kuhmos. I had Nitto 505's which aren't available anymore. They were lousy in the snow loousy in the rain. They were sticky on dry, but not for too long. When they got hot, they would chunk, and lose ther grip. Now I run ecsta's 205/50/15 they are stickier, more durable, and better in adverse weather. subhuman 08-07-2002, 05:42 PM http://www.sr20deforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=22904 Check out that thread...very recent and there were a lot of posts...

I just bought the Nitto NT-455's for the Wet traction purpose. The guy at Discount Tire said they had a very good rating. I hope the work ok. Ferdie Dela Cruz 08-08-2002, 05:23 PM Kuhmo's Ecsta 712, is very good in dry and in wet weather compared to Nitto's. the only complaint i have is that they can get pretty noisy on the highway...but all you have to do is play your stereo louder..:) Se-R 420 08-08-2002, 06:48 PM i use to have sumitomo HTR4 tires, they were generally good and rather cheap compared to the bigger brands. | ||
