I am about to buy a set of NT 450's, does anyone have them? Do you like them? how many miles are you getting out of them? These are 215/45/17 shipped for $393

They'll last forever and are better than the stock tires...but I was more than happy to get rid of them.

Nitto 450's are quite loud on the street. I would recommend looking at the Yokohama Parada Spec 2's. I used to have the Nitto 450's but would never buy them again. However, these Yoko's are VERY nice. Pretty quiet for a 40 series tire, track well, and are excellent in wet conditions.

I've got a set of nitto 450s 215/40/17 I think.. I took them off for the winter, but they are OK tires, I am sure there are better ones out there. They work good on dry pavement. Usually chirp second but they have good traction. They suck in the rain and the snow too.. but they still beat the stock firestones no matter what! I had mine for about 6 months and the tread still looks great on them... If I could try a different tire I probably would have though...

I just bought a set of 205/50/16's and I really like them. I didn't want to spend more for 17's but thats just me.The traction is really good rain and shine and they look great.I don't have any complaints for what I paid for them.

Get the 555 if you are going to get Nitto's the 450's suck I think.

There do last a long time and they grip pretty well in dry pavement only. If the ground is wet, dear god does it suck..Id go with sumthin else like Toyo or Yokos but then again I do love that they last a really really long time.

I had NT-555's in 205/40-17 before I got my NT-450 215/35-18's. I think the 555's stuck to the road better, but the difference is not that great.

I had he 450s on an accord and they were great for the first year or two. Had darn good dry traction and pretty good wet wheather traction. However, the sidewalls dry-rotted very quickly and I saw a major decrease in traction after about 15k or so. My brother-in-law also had a set of 450s on a camaro and his dry-rotted pretty quickly as well. Could have been the products we were using or just coincidence. I am just stating my experience.

I have Nittoe 450's and when i got hit by another car they all blew out and i lost control... If it had my stock tire i think i would have been better off. So i think they suck. One of them also has a bubble in it..

It depends on what you plan to use them for. Year-round driving? Summer only? Street racing/autocross? I see you live in Nashville, so I assume you get some snow/winter weather. I recently got some of the Sumitomo HTR+ in 215/45/17, W-speed rated, and plan to run them year-round. I have had the chance to drive them on everything from dry hot roads to 6+ inches of snow in the last few months and they are awesome! Cheap too! Bottom line, think about what kind of driving you plan to do before buying. By the way, for the record, I had the Nitto 450s before this and they were just okay.

I have had several sets of Nitto 450 tires (205/50/15, 205/40/17, & 215/40/17) on several different sets of wheels I've had & compared to a set of Yokohoma A520's (205/45/17) I used to have, I'd take the 450's over them any day. The Yokohoma's made my car pull back & forth all over the road & were quite a bit louder than the 450's. I have had no problems specific to the 450's with handling or anything. Any lack in wet weather or snow performance the 450's had was also present with the stock tires & the Yokohoma A520's I had.

I happy with mine but you have to remember that with any performance tire the wet traction is usally not as good. The sticker it is to the ground the faster it wears. When my nitto goes out than I'll proably get something else. These nittos seems to last so far and I have 35's, tread still looks new.
