Anybody running Nitto 420V?

Hey guys, I run a separate summer and winter setup on my m50i. With COVID we have been driving pretty far to get away and are going to Florida soon. The trip starts at 10 degrees and will end at 75 degrees. We have kids and my wife doesn't want to rent a car for multiple reasons so we're taking the X7. With temps fluctuating so much I figured I would just get all seasons and use as summers then also have more flexibility when I switch to dedicated winter setup. There are very few options available. I've always done DWS06 and been generally happy but they're not available in a staggered size that will work. Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season are backordered everywhere so all I see available is the Nitto 420V. I see mixed reviews online so wanted to see if any of you have driven on them before? Thanks!

We have em. My wife initially mentioned she thought they were loud but we just moved them to our new m50i, and I can't hear them with the louder exhaust I just drove back 6 hours bringing the car home and I'm fine with them, like the price, and that they are a hp all season for her hauling the fam.

Thanks for sharing! Did she have 22s before? If so curious which tires she was saying were comparatively quieter. Although sounds like that wasn’t a X7. The X7 does such a good job isolating the cabin from noise. Curious what she thinks after she drives the M50i with them on.

She did before. We moved our 22s from her 40i to her m50i. She had her savini wheels mounted to the stock conti hp runflats previously. Honestly I was quite surprised she felt the nittos were louder than worn out rfts.

When you say you were surprised is that because you didn't think they were any louder? With the M50i it sounds like neither of you can really notice any tire noise difference due to the superior noise isolation and exhaust note?

correct on the m50i...she didn't notice it yesterday. I was surprised b/c I figured a worn out RFT would be louder than a new hp a/s tire...I know on gt-r's when we ditch the rft's its always noticeably quieter...granted a shorter sidewall tire to start and a completely different car
