Nexen N3000

Has any 6gen owners use this tire? I was looking at this picture below on a 6th gen, The tire looks great and the sidewall looks very firm as its turned. I need some good performance tires bad because I'm pushing the RS-A way to much. I had Goodyear GS-C tires on my last car. These Nexen tires are affordable $90 each here http://www.tires-easy.com/start.html

Sweet, time for a Nexxen tire thread.

I got them on my Max right now, not the greatest grip, kinda noisy, but they ware well are and are basically the cheapest bang for your buck tire available in our sizes.

...btw, if you do a search you'll find "tons" of info on this tire.

I did search but only 5th and 4th gens have them. I wanted to know how they are for the 6th gen. How is traction compared to the stock tires?

I'm cruisin the Nexen3000. I really like the look tread and sidewall. I've had them for about a month. No issues so far. I've had em on the 1/4mile track several times. Cost was under $700 out the door.

Sounds good to me. The tires look very expensive. Just the review I wanted to read. I had $360 a long time ago but did not know about these tires.

I've done the cheap tire route before and never again. Spend the extra money and get a better brand. Have the Nitto 450 and they were the worst tire I have ever had. Got some potenza 960 a/s pole postions waiting to go on. Cheap tires may seem good in the being but wait till the noise starts to drive you crazy and the soft sidewalls suck

I have these on my 2kSE, and I like them. They are not too bad. Not noisy at all. A little slick on wet roads, but that could be from tread wear. I'm running 235/40/18's. I do hate my curb rash on this wheel, though!

Last night on the way home from work, drove through some very heavy rain. Water on the hightway and on the side streets, never had any hint of them hydroplaning and they are chirp and go from a dead stop.

They are pretty new but so far so good. Time will tell I suppose.

I have them on my 4th gen and love them. Very sticky. They are pretty noisy though.

Im not a 6th gen owner but these have performed very well on my 4th gen. I was very surprised at how well these things stick to the ground. Wet or dry.
