Very well rated, and honestly a well rounded tire.
You'll find what you like and don't like.
That is the point of tires easy to replace, so it is like a buffet bar if you have the cash.

The 711s are a good dry weather tire, but I heard they are ok in the rain.

The 712s have a better pattern to get rid of water.

Where did you hear good things about Nitto in general? Everything I've heard (except for the drag slicks) about Nitto is crappy tires.

paradas wear like a monkeys uncle.....get kumhos for the money, toyos are ok ...im not impressed with there wet traction either or there wear. at the moment im riding on 18 inch falken tires... nice and quiet, good traction wet and dry, real roadhuggers but you gotta find a good place to get em from cause they can be pricy if you dont look around.

I'm very partial to my Potenza S-03's, the only noise I noticed was the pebbles flinging up on the underside of my fenderwells, damn sticky tires! They absolutely kick serious butt in the rain, I can launch hard and shift pretty hard into second with little or no wheel sping which is something my old tires couldn't do in the dry. I have them mounted on 15" by 6" wheels in 195/50/R15 and they corner very quietly and predictably by far the best tires i've ever owned (not saying much, i've owned some shitty tires). No comment on how long they'll last 'cause i've only had about 1000 miles on them and it was mostly highway.
