NITTO MOVITO TIRES SUCK!

Just got some Nitto 255 35 18s put on the rear of my vehicle. Replacing the original P Zero Neros. Boy what a HUGE mistake! These tires are horrible- downright dangerous. My traction control is kicking in on curves- I know you must be thinking, highway speeds....no this is in my NEIGHBORHOOD! These tires are just TOO hard. They spin on wet pavement and especially concrete and are allowing the rear to slide out in turns even when BONE DRY. Treadwear 560 really is too good to be true. I can't believe these tires are on the market.

I've rarely ever had the traction control kick in with the P Zero Neros. With the Movitos, its not only a daily occurrence but numerous times in one trip. I guess getting high mileage from a tire capable of handling this car is asking too much. I do not feel safe in them and will be asking the dealer to get me back into something that can hold me on a basic turn. Never thought I'd miss the Neros this much. I know these are new to the market and just wanted to provide my experience and thoughts on them. Here's to hoping the dealer agrees to get me into something softer and able to hold the road better.
