Want to know something silly? Those ratings aren't standardized across brands. Dumbest thing in the world, but those ratings are only in relation to other tires by the same manufacturer. They're completely worthless when comparing between manufacturers.

Speculating here, but they're probably based on the Toyo T1-R. I don't particularly like that tire.

the only nitto tire i've heard people say good things about is the nt01. I would go with something else until reviews start to come in.

yeah definitely true... i read that the manufacturers are the ones that actually set the ratings. i am SURE they are completely unbiased.

oh well..
