Nitto 450s - Honda Prelude Forum

axngen · 02-25-2002, 08:21 AM

Have any of you had experiences w/ the Nitto 450s?? How do they perform, and how long do they last? Any feedback is greatly appreciated thanks.

I have them on both sets of rims....i love them. Gone through roughly 25k on one set so far with a considerable amount of tread left to go.

highy NOT recommended. For extra $10-$20.00 get the Nitto 555. i running on my second sets of 555s... that's how much i like them.

good luck.

i'm really glad to hear it. what's this i hear about the sidewalls being super thin and bubbling up after only 4,000 or so miles? have you run on these tires at the track? i'm looking for a tire that will stick well for handling and also launch well at the track. oh, are you lowered?

are the 555s drag radials, or are those the 555Rs? Thanks

NOT recommended
i threw them away after barely a few thousand miles -- the worst thing money can buy.

had them on a different car before... just horrible tires...

it looked decent, otherwise crappy folding sidewalls, worse than stock traction.. some quality issues as well

you're prolly just not abusing them enough.

well, you ARE the 1st one i've heard who's actually happy with them.

I currently have them on my lude and they are good tires, but the 555's are a little better.

I'm not lowered yet, but the launch is good 3.5k-4.5k and the LC launch is good too.

axngen · 02-25-2002, 03:37 PM

anytime i've tried anything close to the LC_Launch, i've sat there and spun like an idiot...does LC have stock tires? i'd be truly amazed if he launches like that on stock tires.
