Default Nitto NT 450 Extreme Performance

Has anyone used the Nitto NT 450 Extreme Performance as their stock tires (245 -50-16)? Just wondering if these are any good. Thanks.

I had them on my Z26 in a 17" and they were just fine. For normal driving they will do just fine. Depending on how much the 555's are you might look into upgrading to those.

Sounds good, I'm not really looking for a drag radial, just a good street tire and I saw the 450's on discount tire and right now they have a special for buying all 4 tires you get 100 dollars off out the door.

They are good tires, just not the best traction. But since they are 245s and not a DR, I guess their pretty good and the price isn't bad. I have them on my car, but probably will go for a tire with more grip next time.
