Nitto NT421Q 235/55R19 105 W Tire

I've run Michelins for 10 yrs. Tired of the dry rot look. Merchant Tire rep. suggested Nitto for my 20'' custom wheels. Chose the NT421Q 255/50R20. Love the grip on the 2 mile curve road that takes me home. Quiet , & smooth at 75+. Hoping they last 60k

To put my review in context, the tire brand I've been using for the last 10 years was the Kumho Ecsta STX KL12 285/50R20 V Rated Street/Sport Truck All-Season. In all a decent tire and very sticky in dry conditions but not so much in wet stuff but then Vegas doesn't see much snow or rain. At about 40k miles I decided it was time to replace them, as I began to notice less traction/grip and a harsher ride. I would have used the same tire; only the tire was/is being discontinued. Enter Nitto. My local tire dealer and I discussed possible replacement options and the NT421Q kept rising to the top of the list mainly because of cost. I've owned Nitto's in the past on a sports car I once owned, and was very satisfied with the experience. Not knowing squat about this particular tire, I took a leap of faith and said what the heck. Fast forward 3 months and a few hundred miles, and my appreciation continues to grow for this tire. The first thing that is evident to me was how quiet they were compared to the Kumho's. A revelation not completely lost on me given the fact the NT421Q's are new and not 40k old. The grip these tires produce on dry pavement is tremendous. It takes a lot of effort on my part to get them to break loose, and their moment of breakaway during lateral acceleration is gradual and predictive. The confidence these tires instill is prodigiously inspiring. Small ruts in asphalt and broken pavement rarely upset the chassis which can be credited to the added shoulder inserts. I've had zero encounters with snow or rain so far, but will update any findings when that happens. Although I would have preferred Nitto to make a 285/45 size just for the sheer visual appearance of how the size would look on my truck, I'm satisfied with the size I picked.
