So... i ended up taking the offer and got Nitto tires as i really didn't want to wait any longer.
I love them so far. I haven't had a chance to throw my car into the corners hard, but the tires grip well at least in a straight line from first gear.
(which was always an issue with my skinny winter tires! )
Also i have no other tire experience to compare this tire against as i bought my car with winter tires. This is my first summer tire on this car.
BUT, the bottom line is i have no complaints about this tire. (maybe yet)
I will report back later.
