If you're referring to NT450 Extremes, I've got them in 205-55R16's and I'm
real pleased with 'em.  In fact, the day I got them, I drove thru a
hailstorm on the way home at 70 mph and the car felt absolutely stable.
Road noise is low and the ride is comfortable.  Don't know enough about
long term wear cause its only been about a 1k miles since they were mounted.

HTH,
