Friend of mine has the Nittos on a 95 GT, he loves em. I just dont like the way they look. They arent ugly, just doesnt appeal to me.

Of course, I have the gatorbacks so almost anything is better looking than they are.

How do the RE60s do in the rain? I m not scared to drive in the rain but the Gatorbacks to me are down right scarey.
RE760's are pretty good in the rain. They're also reasonably priced.

From Tirerack.com ,245/45ZR17's are $126 each and 275/40ZR17's are $142 each.


I just put new tires on today. I would have bought the RE760's again but I got a better deal on a set of BFG GForce Sport Comp 2's that I couldn't pass up. $562 mounted and balanced, and a $50 rebate on top of that!
