Both are newer tread designs. Both are v-rated. Both are all-season.

A set of 4 are less than $300 for either brand. Finding them for about $65 a piece.

AKA's

Nexen N7000 ==> none found

Nankang N605 == > Toursport NS (not NS-I or NS-II)

I tried buying the Nexan 7000's and the place that was trying to find them couldn't locate them anywhere! Where are you finding them for $65 each?? That is cheap!!!

N7000 and n650 are both at eastcoasttires.com but they only list the N7000's on eBay, not at their store

No prob'

I actually paid a little more and went with 225-50-17 Hankook K402 V-Rated Optimo Plus II from PepBoys. they are exclusively offered thru PepBoys only. Come with a 60k mile warranty and they are all-season.

Had them installed this morning and drove 60 miles on highway. Definately a quiet tire. Don't know how they grab yet, but snow season is coming upon us so I'll be able to test all-season traction soon.

Out the door for $513 ($97 a tire + road hazard and all the other install fees)
