I got these on my new wheels last week. Ride is pretty good, good dry traction, and I'm sure good wet traction(doesn't rain in central TX anymore so I don't know).

Won't really get a lot of life out of a one season summer tire. If you really want a summer tire, I'd look at the Yokohama S-Drive. Those are an excellent way to go and should get close to 30K.

Longest life will come from a sport all season tire. In that case, I'd look at the Goodyear Eagle GT or Michelin Pilot Sport AS+.

Thanks for all the info everyone, ended up getting a deal on two nitto invos, and now I'm trying to find the best price for two others, so far the best is $174 per tire which is pretty darn good IMO.

Neal, you guys don't carry Nittos, right? I'd like to order from Tire Rack, but I want 4 of the same tire more.

I just bought a coupe with brand new Dunlop Drizza on it...I was just getting used to the handling of the G35 when taking it into a wide sweeping turn @45mph (Posted 40mph) the car in the middle of the turn then started to slide not that much but just missed slamming into the curb..when I got home I checked on TireRack and read that these tires are NOT recommended in freezing temps( the temp that day was in the 20's. read and learn I always say...

yeah, you might want to pick up a set of winter tires.. I don't think it's good for the tire compound to be used in those cold temperatures either.
