vs
Tires Nexen or NANKANG
nankangs are great I have never had any issues and they stretch real nice
Pros: stretch real nice
i have ns-ii's and love them. definitely a small tire, but easy to stretch
Pros: love them, easy to stretch
Cons: small tire
i like the nexen 195 45s thats what i have on my car and there wear rating is awesome. and they grip nicely once you get them warmed up. ive seen the toyos wear out very quick.
Pros: awesome wear rating, nice grip
Cons: Toyos wear out quick
On our prescribed sighting-lap line, the Optima's chassis proved compliant while the standard high performance dampers (fundamental design shared with the Sorento's dual flow dampers) and suspension tuning found a good compromise between a relaxed ride and more aggressive roadholding. Off the driving line, the stock Nexen touring tires didn't enjoy steering corrections at speed, and predictably squealed in protest.
Pros: compliant chassis, relaxed ride
Cons: tires squealed in protest
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
I've used em a couple different times and never had a problem. They're pretty good tires for stretching too.
Pros: no problems, good for stretching
I've got Nankang's and i've had them for two years now (only runnin them in the summer)...They were cheap n i was broke so they were my choice :laugh: Haven't had a problem with them yet:thumbup:
Pros: no problems, cheap
C5 RS6 wheel painted flat black with brand new Nexen 3000 tire 19x8 et 30 best offer UUC weight shift knob, silver (6spd) nice and heavy I can include a threaded OEM shifter for free
Pros: nice and heavy
despite what people say, the n3000's are that bad. i've had a set for a while now on my could, 195-45-15 on a 15x8, and i've driven the piss out of it, and they've got pretty impressive dry traction and cornering for as cheap as they are... traction goes way down in the rain though, not horrible, but not good either, haha.
Pros: impressive dry traction, cornering
Cons: traction goes way down
They ARE crap. And that is spoken from someone who has had a set. Two of the 4 developed bubbles in the tread (tread separation) after about 10K miles.
Cons: developed bubbles, tread separation
Mileage: 10000 km
i had 205/40/18 and the sidewill blew out within 3 days
Cons: sidewall blew out
