I have read your review which is why I am seriously considering going with the Falken but I also have heard good things about the Nittos too. I have bought a lot of things sight unseen from the internet but for some reason I feel the need to visually see the tires I'm buying first. Maybe I'll just take the long drive to see both sets but it will seem like a waste if I end up going with the tire I could have gotten less than 10 minutes from my house.
