I had Nitto 450's on my Prelude, and had 555's on my Audi. nice handling tire, and a great looking tire, but were absolutely positively TERRIBLE in the rain. I sorta expected to have less than perfect results with a Hi performance summer tire in the rain, but the 450's were down right dangerous and the 555's were only marginally better.

Anyway. I bit the bullet and bought the Kumho ASX. Two of them arrived today and two will be here friday. I put them on today and gave the car a nice fresh alignment with the new coilovers and I am more than pleased. They gripped great in the rain today even when the rear end with the NIttos was sliding all over the place.

I also cannot say enough about the Koni coilovers. They were definitely worth every penny.
