Garlic 1st Gear June 11, 2007 Author Share June 11, 2007 (edited) Agree, high wearing tyres makes more sense to drivers who change their tyres every 1.5 to two years, I have seen an uncle stretching his Michelin MXV4 pass 50K. These do look like a better buy over PRC F1s and slightly overpriced ST115s. For those who asked asked about pricing, 15" series are going at $85 per tyre and 16" at $105.

Dynaway 1st Gear June 11, 2007 Share June 11, 2007 yeah.... but at least there is some rating u can roughly fall back, better than those "self" promo write-up in the dealer's webby... i've read abt the testing methods sometime bac... it may be more applicable to weather conditions in the States....since the rating is their requirements... i would go for a Treadwear no more than 240.... it make sense to their wet braking test since it is more critical than dry weather braking in term of emergency condition.... dry weather i think no need test...any idiot can stop the car without fear...

Furrynadz 5th Gear June 11, 2007 Share June 11, 2007 depends how u look at it f1 no matter how its made in china or wat not, still has the advantage of a proven design, though inferior rubber and belting will diminish its performance nexen however ...is nowhere anywhere on the world stage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garlic 1st Gear June 11, 2007 Author Share June 11, 2007 Another point to note, these Nexens do not come with rim protectors, even for low profile sizes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garlic 1st Gear June 12, 2007 Author Share June 12, 2007 You might want to give Stamford a ring, they are currently having a a "3 plus 1" promo. I checked last week and a set of 205/45/R16 ST115 is retailing at $600, CPC is about $200 more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garlic 1st Gear June 12, 2007 Author Share June 12, 2007 That seems like a wiser choice, especially with the current 20% discount from Hankook. Normal price is $154 if I'm not wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trex101 3rd Gear June 12, 2007 Share June 12, 2007 (edited) I'm currently running on Nexen N2000, the wet & dry grip sucks big time. Now running down to 30psi(previous 34psi) so dry grip better but wet still sucks. Edited June 12, 2007 by Trex101 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garlic 1st Gear June 12, 2007 Author Share June 12, 2007 How much did you pay for your tyres? The N2K and N3K looks pretty similar, N3K contains silica and has higher ratings, not too sure of N2K though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trex101 3rd Gear June 12, 2007 Share June 12, 2007 $60 for 195/60/15. Bought it at PH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
