I've been in the tire business for almost 4 years now. I've been in the back changing out tires as a technician, and up front as an advisor. I can tell you from experience that NIKKA tires are a terrible option to pick. They constantly fail.... the tire dismantles itself, the steal belts come apart on almost every single NIKKA I've ever seen, and the inner and outer edges ware out so prematurely, that cord starts to show at about 15,000 to 20,000 miles of use, less than half of the rated mileage warranty. Take it from someone who makes a living off of selling, and installing tires. With tires its very much "you get what you pay for" if the tire is cheap, it wont be a good tire. If the tire is more on the expensive side, its going to be a good tire. Do yourself a favor, and spend a little more and get yourself some Michelins, or any other name brand, and not a trash Chinese tire.
