I'm running the same Nittos, they handle much better than the stock potenzas when it's dry, but when it's wet, all hell is gonna break loose. They were not my first choice in tires, but I got them pretty much for free. I've got about 9000 miles on them and the wear is hardly visible .

This is really making me furious. Firestone REALLY needs to make the Firehawk SZ50 in our size. It is an unbelievable tire. Dry they are awesome and wet they rule. They would sell like hot cakes.

the treadwear rating isnt standardized across brands. a 220 bridgestone will outwear a 140, but a 140 pirelli could outwear a 220 bridgestone. just an example
