NEXEN Tires???

Anyone have any experience with these tires?

I started another thread here talking about tires:
https://www.rx7club.com/suspension-wheels-tires-brakes-20/245-45-16-tire-choices-limited-670744/

But I was offered these NEXEN for $320 mounted, balanced, and installed.

What do you think?

I have them on the rear of my car the reason I dont have them on the front is cuz I need spacers....but these tires are great....the grip well and they also allow you to have some fun. Thats a great price considering I got 6 for 300 just the tires but that was from a friend that needed to get rid of them. I say go for it.

Yes
I've been running the 3000, been to 2 drift events with them
They are holding up quite well. Lost of tread left but they just don't smoke alot.
Seems to be a decent cheap tire IMO

I like em. I'm running N3000 215/45zr17 on my 87 GXL, all the way around. I've had them for a year and they're holding up fine. I haven't tried them for autoX; just a daily driver.

I have the N3000's on my T2 they are a decent tire, grip well in the wet. The only thing is with the power i have in my car they tend to lose lateral traction quickly. But unless im gunning it fairly hard they are a good tire for the price.
