They are great in the dry and rain but I wouldn't use them in the snow.

I love my Nitto's especially at the track. I say go for them. Just dont venture out too far in the snow with them.

How long have you had them mounted? Are they your DD's?

My Marauder is for pleasure use only. I only take it out in nice weather. I'm on my second set and they are over 2 years old.

I have had mine since May of 08 and love them.....they will last a lot longer than the OEM's for sure....great traction in the cold (lowest temp so far is 27) and the wet...again better than the OEM's....this year we havent received much rain but that allows the oil to build up on the road and when it does finally rain, the oil gets all over the road and creates some pretty slick conditions....I have had no issues with traction during this period. Mine are dailey driven.

I drove SID210SA's car, and I must say, I was impressed with the 420s.
They dont have the flex like the freakin Falken tires did.
mike i got a pair of 420s on the rear had them on for about a month and i love them :burnout:

My local tire connection blows that price out of the water. Thanks for informing us about the 235/55/18's being available! They will be on my car Saturday.

I have the KUHMOs, just took a trip to Luray over the weekend. The speed rating is V for the KUHMOs, but H on the Nittos, please correct me if I am wrong, plus the KUHMO's have been snow friendly over the past couple of days!:bows:
