Can’t say I understand the correlation between the two, especially since these tires are made by different manufactures and compete against each other. Additionally, one is summer only, the other is all season. Anyway, I suppose everyone is entitled to an opinion. GL

Toyo = Lexus SC
Nitto = Toyota Supra
They are both made by the same manufacturer under different brands to widen the potential consumer base... the tire is the same "green" tire, which means, before it goes in the mold, the tire could be either the Toyo or the Nitto...

Think of it this way

Nitto = Toyota Supra

Quite different profiles, handling, heat temp thresholds, wear ratings, and tread patterns.
Both are great tires and worth owning. I just want to clear up any misinformation regarding the matter. If you would like to discuss further please PM me so the thread doesn't wander.
