Default Nitto Feedback Post- tire pros needed

Whats up fellas! Ive been running about 6-8 months on my 20's and sad to say now its time for new tires. Ive been working with the Nitto NT-555's and they have been and alright tire. I find that in hard cornering they dont grip as much as id like to out of $200 tires. Ive heard from some ppl that nitto's arent really that great of a tire. What do you guys thing of Nitto tires? (price/product). What other brands of performance tires would you guys suggest? i have heard Perelli P-zero nero's are good?

peace

i hate nittos.. pirellis are too expensive for what they are IMO.. i personally love dunlop tires.. the fm901 is their lower end, but still provides good grip at a decent price while still having a decent tread wear rating.. its basically a daily driving tire.. if youre looking for more performance, check out the sp9000's or the sp sport maxx's

I owned the Nitto 555 in the past, and its not bad for the money.
I'm a big on Yokohama IMO.

The NT555 isn't that bad, but the NT450 really sucks. I've had them and would over power them a lot (Not on my ES300). I've used Pirelli P Zero-Nero, Dunlop SP 9000, Dunlop FM-901, Bridgestone Potenza RE730/750, various BF Goodrich. The Dunlop SP 9000 I use on some 18/19" rims on my NSX and they are awsome. The FM-901 I use on the same car as a daily driver ser on 18/18" rims. I also had the Pirelli P Zero-Nero on that car and they were great, but the Dunlops were cheaper. The BF Goodrich I used on an SC400 as a daily driver and they held up good. No complaints.
