Nitto Motivos for the F

Tread wear ratings can't be compared between tire manufactures. I have Bridgestone RE11s which Bridgestone rates as a 180 tread wear. I get about 30-35k on my rear tires, and about 40k on the front tires.
Not every manufacture uses the standard for testing.
From what I found, Hankook and Nitto have these super high tread wear ratings...but their tires kinda don't last. My last sit of Nittos was NT555 and I think it has a tread wear rating of 300 and only lasted 20k miles.

I've never had good luck with Nitto tires...they wear too fast.

I don't drive aggressively, so the tires are great. They are all-seasons, so the summer/dry performance won't match the RE11s JUST F ME is advocating. I would imagine that they would perform better in wet scenarios though, so consider that a trade-off.
They do slip easier than my last set of Potenzas. They don't roar at highway speeds, and sidewall does seem a bit soft compared to the Potenzas.
I'd say if you want dry performance and grip, the RE11s are the best choice.
I chose the Motivos for daily driving duty - all-season performance, and high tread-wear rating. I was promised 60k miles with their warranty. Let's see?

Maybe it's because of the geographic where I live, but I rather put ultra high performance tires on an ultra high performance car. Put all seasons on your Toyota Camry...not on the IS F

can't really do much spirited driving in los angeles...
if I do somehow find the time to track it, i would have a secondary set of wheels/tires.
but working full-time, school 3/4 time... just no time!
also if the IS-F is considered an "ultra-high performance" car, what category do real performance cars fall in?
