Taurus SHO AWD

We had a light winter in terms of snowfall but I didn't notice any improved performance compared to the stock Michelin all season tires in slick weather. The Michelins were a special order for my SHO, and the nittos were in stock. Overall they are a great value but I wasn't as impressed as some of the reviews I read. But then again its my daily driver, not a street racer. I have had great experiences with Nitto NT01 and would highly recommend them if you are looking for a true sport tire.

These tires have acceptable road noise and comfort. The dry traction performance is fine but it easily loses traction when wet. Snow and ice traction is horrible. I wouldn't recommend for use in cold weather driving on snow and ice.
