(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score Nitto 420S really are as cool as everyone says So I bit the bullet and the wife's CX-7 got 4 new Nitto 420S tires in the 255/55-18 for Christmas. The look killer, wider and ride so much better than the stock crap we took off. Not really new thread worthy but I figured instead of getting lost in other tire threads I would let it be known and join the 420S club. They were $141 each, shipped from Discount Tire Direct. My mechanic could not get a complete set in time for the Christmas gift that they were intended for. I ordered the on Monday and had them on Thursday, right before Christmas Eve. The ride so smooth and balanced out better than any other tires I have ever mounted. 2 tires took NO WEIGHT, one took .50 OZ and the other took .75 OZ. They still need a few more heat cycles but the mold release is almost gone and they are great. We will keep the rotated, get an alignment, and see how long they last. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score How are the 420s for long highway runs? I found my Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 (blah blah blah blah) are very quiet on the highway (probably because it has that center rib) |

| Not Ranked : 0 score Not bad - but I find that Mazdas typically transmit more road noise (I think they market this as Zoom Zoom rather than admit they're cheap ass bastards with the sound deadening!) |

| Not Ranked : 0 score I agree with what Billsfan said. Not bad. But the CX7 does transmit road noise more than other cars I have.

| Neutral : +1 score My Nittos have lasted 40K+ miles and it is now time to replace them. Overall I have been happy with them except for the last 10K miles where the road noise became very loud. Is there another tire with similar performance but is quieter? I am in Houston so I do not have to worry about snow. |
