Nitto 421Q -VS- Yokohama Parada Spec-X

I currently have Yokohama Parada Spec-X tires installed after replacing them with the OEM Bridgestone Dueler H/L 400 .
I've driven 25k. 1 set has 4/32 and the other set has 6/32. Pretty much the same tire ware I had with the Bridgestone Dueler H/L 400.

I am looking to puchase another set of tires.. Has anyone installed Nitto 421Q's on the CX-9?

Does anyone have an opinions?

Went with the Nitto 421Q

So I decided to get the Nitto Tires. I've had the Yokohama Prada Spec-X, and the OEM Bridgestone Dueler H/L400 both only lasted me 25k+ each.

Since the Nitto comes with a 75k tire tread warranty, I hope to get more treadlife out of these..

Let us know how they work out for you
 
Curious to know what you think of the Nitto's. I got 39k out of the OEM Bridgestones before I replaced them with the Parada Spec-X. So far, I put 26k on the Yoko's and still have about 4/32nds of tread left but the inner edge of the tread is starting to shred....looks like shredded cheese. Discount is offering to replace those with the Yoko YK580. I was interested in the Nitto's but apparently, Discount does not have any and they cannot get any from Nitto.
 
Discount Tire found a set of Nitto NT421Q, gave me $96 credit for both front Parada Specs whose inner tread was shredding. We only have about 300 miles on them but overall first impression of the Nitto's is smoother, quieter, and sidewalls feel softer compared to the Yoko's. Immediately after the installation, I took the CX-9 to the dealership for a 4-wheel alignment. The service advisor told me the toe was out in the front, but could not tell me if it was a toe-out or toe-in. Suspect it was a toe-out due to the way the Yoko's inner tread started to shred.
