I saw an ad for Enkei RPF1 wheels with these tires on them for what seems like a good price. What do you know about these tires?

Do lots of burnouts to use them up quickly? IIRC they're not what I would call a "good" tire.

I heard AC/DC hates them.

However Beiber loves them and has them on all of his posse's cars.

I get it. You prefer ear shattering noise to real musicianship. That's okay, really. To each his own. Now give it a rest. I'd really like to get some real feedback on these tires, okay?

Just expressing an opinion. Sorry it doesn't match yours ;) Seriously though as has been said, Nitto's aren't very good performance tires, but for just driving around until they wear out they should be fine. The wheels are what you really want out of the deal (Gotta love the RFP's). Worst case you could always sell the tires to someone local and use the money plus some of your own to buy the tires you really want/need.

For daily driving they are fine. I live in Florida, they did well in the wet and more than adequate for spirited driving... wore well, also. Had them on my '91 SE-R, on 15 x 7 RPF-1s. Have recently sold the car and after 2 years they were still in good shape...wore well. I don't get people who sneer when you don't have the "best tire ever" on your daily driver.

They are a decent tire, not good, not bad. There big deal was they are supposed to wear evenly when you lower your car and dont get it aligned and run a bunch of negative camber.

I would only run them on a low hp fwd car, that I wanted to be a little sporty but wasnt really serious about performance, and if I wanted to cheap out.

Tires are important even on daily drivers.
