Just wondering if anyone out there has any info on nexen n3000 tires. Saw it on blackcircle.com as a repl. tire on my 2005 MR

 

With a component so critical to both car safety and performance as a tire, I would stay away from off-brand tires like that until more real-world feedback on reliability and performance becomes available... For a few dollars more, I would go with a proven manufacturer of inexpensive tires like a Kumho, Falken, Toyo, etc.

 

^ Hit the nail on the head.

- Falkens ; ick

 

Kumho Ecsta MX's work great for me and at $129 each from Tirerack they are a great deal.

 

Thanks for advice. Definately don't want a tire that won't allow me to drive the car as I like. I'll spend a few more dollars!

 

i had the falken rt615 and was very happy with them. im trying the competitor now the kumho mx's then ill know which tire to stick with

cheers!

 

The guy at Big O tried to sell me on those too. He was like ya Ive been putting em on porsches and bentleys. I asked him what the treadwear was....




wait for it...





320. Dude, buy these and invest in light poles and street signs, because you're going to be taking a few out. I went with the Bridgestone Potenza RE01-R's for 200 a tire on Tirerack.com.

 

Which tires are you talking about? The Kumho's have a treadwear of 220 and the Falkens have a rating of 200.

 

Im talking about those Nexen 3000's they were trying to sell me on as well. Those are junk.

The Kumhos are ok, I know a guy in vegas running them here. I was going to go with the RT-615's as well, but saw the review on the RE01R's on Tirerack and found out they are comparable to Neova's. I went with those instead.

 

I've tried 615s and the MXs. Neither compare to the Advan. Unless you go to an R compound I don't think there is anything better than the Advan.
