Nexen Tires? Can anybody give me a review... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Looking at some Nexen tires... they have a good price compared to other brands. I will be using them for daily driving and will be better than my used 60 series that I have now. If anybody has had them or knows about them and could tell me your experiences it would be greatly appreciated.

My local tire guy told me he'd try to get me a deal on them, but I like trying out different tires that people recommend for drifting. Once I really get into buying new tires, or the discontinued ones run out, I'm gonna use some Nexans.

Nexens are what I get my customers who need it MAD CHEAP.

Made in Korea, they have different models tho, so it varies.

I just sold a pair to Gorgasm for his beater wheels, so maybe he has an opinion.

I'd buy them if you just wanted beater tires or something to smoke.

What size is that though? I need some beater tires for my SE's. I see these whored around ebay all the time.

I want to know how well they hold up to heat.

As long as they don't chunk or turn to glass after the first run they'll be good enough for me.
