Default Nexen Tyres

I am looking for a set of tyres for my 11 Spokes, and have been looking at tyre reviews on this tyre, and they seem to get a good overall review

http://www.camskill.co.uk/m61b0s557p..._Noise%3A_72dB

Good price, and plan to use them only in the summer

Has anybody got these and what are your opinions

Stu

Don't know about that particular model, but I've had a set of N6000s in that size for the last 15k miles, and they're a lot better than the no-name ditchfinders the car came with along with being reasonably quiet and sticking to the road well enough - they're better than most tyres I've ever had on a 75.

Default nexen tyres

Hi Stu I run these on my Lexus GS450h and found them very good for the price I get about 10000 miles from rear ones and 20000 on the front

I've run a set of the N8000's on the ZT-T190. http://www.camskill.co.uk/m61b0s557p..._Noise%3A_74dB

I currently have a set of Goodyear F1 As2's. The Nexen's were comparable performance IMO, and half the price. Can't comment on how long they last mileage wise in comparison, but personally I think the N8000 are superb value for money. They are 90p dearer per tyre though.

Default Tyres

Thanks to all, currently have a set of Nexex N8000 on the Apex ZTT and a set of Avon ZZ5 on the ZT Straights, and my spare wheels (Hairpins) have a set of Maxxis

So as mentioned wont have these on all the time, as I constantly am changing wheels on the cars, and appreciate feedback

Stu

Hi Stu,

I just bought a pair of these (V rated not Y) but not yet fitted them - I have a neg camber issue to dial out on NSF (see long post on bent strut!).

Normally I have Uniroyal Rainsport 3 all round. At the price I wonder about buying another pair of these so the car is balanced on the same rubber all round if I use them.

Seem good at first glance and a decent rim protector built in. Acid test will be sticking them on the car.

I was interested in this purely as I need some tyres for the car, so I did a bit of reading and was really impressed with the right-ups!
And what was more surprising is the fact that the Nexen NFera SU1 get a far better review than the 8000's!
Has anyone had the Nexen NFera SU1 fitted?

Thanks.

Bill,

You are making me really think about another pair of 'em now!
