I used to have NITTO and they sucked! I'm runnin Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 712 215/45/16 along with ST sway bars, coilovers, Tokikio 5 ways, and strut braces. With the NITTO tires I was all over the place, I couldn't buy some grip. The Kuhmo's are the bomb! I have not had any problems with grip. I'm running a tire pressure of about 35-30 on the street. Just have to remembr that I can't go barreling over potholes or speed bumps. On a stock styled car, in this case a 00 hatch, I have experienced a very similar story. The car can't take advantage of the close to non adhesion as well as a set up car but the Kuhmo's do prove to be better than most other tires that I have tried. I've also managed to get my friends to switch to either Kuhmo or Nanking as they are comprable tires with a slightly lower price in our area. Both tires should be readily available at your local tire shop.
