I bought NRV's in 2003, I think they changed tread and more since then. A local club memeber recommended them based on his 9000 experience, and had local supplier. Are really quiet, don't flinch in standing water/rain, really liked on the highway. But afraid was really disappointed in the end on my C900 on 15x5.5" rims (shelby's)in 195/60. Have super soft sidewall, needed around 40psi to keep from bouncing all over. Two developed sidewall bulges. One was destroyed during a remount. Perfectly safe I'd say, but not a tire you can push hard, it just won't stick in corners/diving into off ramps can be scary. Lastly, maybe just a fluke but seem to attract nails! :) Anyway, regrettable, which is too bad because I worship Nokian snows.
