2012 Mercedes GL Class Tires

First: I am a huge Nitto fan. I have NT01's on my Shelby Cobra and Terra Grappler G2's on my F350 and I love both! I was excited that Nitto offered a much more reasonably priced option for my 2019 Audi Q8, than the Continental, Michelin or Pirelli brands. I have now driven these tires over 2 thousand miles. I had hoped they would "get better". But, they are really loud at lower speeds (under 65mph) and still relatively loud at higher speeds. I have had the installer rebalance them in hopes of improvement, without luck. Their performance in heavy rain isn't as good as the OEM tires. On the bright side, they perform very well on dry pavement and are half the price of the other brands mentioned. Sorry Nitto!
