if youre looking for a low priced replacement, the Nexens arent a bad choice. i had a set on my old Enkei's and it stuck fairly well even on canyon running. decent treadlife so you shouldnt worry about it running down too early. id say a good choice for a tight budget.

also, SEARCH. there are more threads here on the org on the N3000s. what better place to get reviews other than car forums??

I had these on before when i got the SE rims . .(mine is an SL 2005). I'm not hardcore with performance, but they were pretty cheap and did perform rather well for my occasional cornering i liked to do. It doesn't rain much here in Cali, but i would say the are alright. I don't have too much to compare with, but i was happy with them. Trying not to make this a useless post, but my knowledge is limited.. . sorry

Don't be cheap on tires. They are the only thing keeping your car on the road.

its not that i was being cheap. i bought a set of wheels from an org member and they came with 4 brand new nexen n3000s. ive been driving on them for about 2 weeks now and im pretty impressed. very little road noise, decent wet traction.

I have Nexens. Ever since I bought the rims and had them installed. Great tires for a great price.They do the job rain or dry. Im on my second set of 4 right now. I love'm, I got a good test of them when the Austin Maxima group and I went on a nice curvy back road venture. Very fun, ever since then Ive been convinced.

just because they are cheap they aren't bad.

I have them, they are a soft tire and they stick really well and I autocrossed on them a couple of times.

Tirerack gives them a 9.5/10

I have the Nexens for the last 4 months on my stock 17's and I am really impressed. I agree with the other guys on here that these cheap Nexen Korean tires are really good tires especially for the price.

I have some N3000's on the front of my car only have about 50miles on them so far, but they are very quiet and comfortable tire.. I give them a good rating for the little mileage i've driven on them

so im selling these now, but it doesnt have anything to do with the quality of the tires.


i gotta say after driving about 1500 - 2000 miles on these over the past 8 weeks i am thoroughly impressed. decent road noise, excellent grip both wet and dry, and seemingly great treadlife.

i would recommend N3000s
