For every post saying that some tire is ****e there are two more saying how great the same tire is. If the Nittos I put on my car stop being quiet, grippy, smooth-riding tires I'll post an update. Thanks for all of the info.

Actually, as long as you like the Nitto's that's all that matters. I will say that the Nittos and the P Zero's were the most "square" side wall look I've seen...I liked that a lot.
My M5 came with Contis as well, because they're so new and I don't corner doing 100mph, I didn't see the need to change tires yet, also I was told that PS2s don't come in 285's
But for the most part, Contis are pretty bad.

Best rubber? PS2's and F1GSD3's, period...until something better comes out.
