Dude it looks like you hate anything made from japan! Evos, Mitsubishi's, and now japanieze tires.
Personally I think that the Nittos are the best for the price.

Personally, I love my Yokos. Nittos are a really hard riding tire, they aren't as sticky as the Yoko's either IMO

+1

I really like my Yokos so much more than my old Toyos and Nittos, as the ride quality (noise and comfort) of the Yokos far exceed that of the latter two mentioned. If you've got the money to lose, and are looking for summer performance, look at Eagle tires. I just can't afford 300 bucks a tire. For 120 bucks a piece, my Yokos work wonders.
