Dang good tire, I agree.
Comparing the 'D3s to the Nitto 555 (front)/555r (drag radial - rear), my unscientific and subjective rating might look like (10 = best of the two):
Dry (warm) pavement:
Nittos = 10, D3's = 9
Dry (cold) pavement:
D3's = less than average all-season passenger tires (even a bit scary!), Nittos = no data yet.
Drag strip:
Nittos = 10, D3's = 6 (tops)
In rain/wet:
D3s = 10, Nittos = No data yet...
Ride:
Nittos = 10, D3s = 8
Price/availability:
Nittos = 10, D3's = 3
For the way I drive, i.e., pushing the tire to the limits often, I'd buy the Nittos again.
For the way Ami (wife) drives, i.e., relatively gently; non-aggressively, I'd say either will work. Price then becomes a factor, favoring the Nittos (again).
IMO (YMMV)
