NITTO NT NeoGen ZR tire question
Hello out there,
Does anyone out there have these tires? www.neogentire.com
What's your opinion about them?
I just ordered my Rota Actions and need a good tire(225/45r17) for South Florida.

Nitto tires are trash. Several members of i-club have had issues with them, including me. From my research and experience I recommend Bridgestone Potenza S-03 (expensive summer tires), Michelin Pilot Sport A/S (expensive all-season), Falken Azenis (cheap summer), and Sumitomo HTR+ (cheap all-season). I have no experience with the NeoGen tires though.

Well... I got them.. look at my user name
Even though some folks have claimed some other Nitto designs are crud, I figured I'd give them a shot. So far, after only a couple days, I think they are great. (I'm running 215/45/17s on Rota SDRs)
It looks like they've put some effort in this tire.. and the tread design with the beefy outer shoulder is what won me over.
I'll post a longer term review after I get more miles on them.
Thanks,

On the highway, they seem to be about the same, however there is noticeably more road noise on uneven and rough pavement- but this is to be expected with any performance tire in this size- I went from the stock 205/55/15 to a 215/45/17.
The tires are very quiet on smooth pavement- if that's what you are asking. Edit- I do hear a bit of "tread noise" on smooth pavement- I'll update in a few weeks to make sure they don't get louder

Thoughts after drivin' like I stole it.
Ok... these tires have AWESOME grip considering they are All-season rated tires. I hit some tight twisties, open stretches, panic turns, drifting, etc.... they grip way better than my old tires (and they were fairly good) and are very controllable at the limit...
I give two thumbs up to these things.

So your old tires, were they the stock RE92s? Most people don't consider those anywhere near fairly good.
