When I bought these tires for my daughter, I've heard that Nitto makes qulity tires. I made a mistake. Less than 500 miles on them the tire blew out on the side wall. Won't buy again.

I have these tires for 38k miles I think they would last 50-70k miles with regular rotations. These tires are very quiet and handle better than any of the others I've had. Thy don't hydroplane and perform great in the wet and in the dry. The only shortcoming is a stiff sidewall and so that the ride is not very comfortable.

Buying these tires I expected they would be nice, because there are a lot of people praised them very much. I've bought them and after a couple hundred miles the horrible vibration appeared. After some balancing I couldn't get rid of vibration. Won't buy them again!
