tires

nexen n3000

does anyone know if these are good tires and worth the money, i am considering them for an 05 wrx, thanks

bfgoodrich ftw doesnt the 05 wrx come with nice bfgoodrich tires anyway?

they're decent, it's a korean tire company comparable to kumho.

i used to have them...never had any trouble with it

I have nexen on my stock steelies and I don't like them. Every time I brake or turn HARD, those things screech.

if you have really soft compound tires they will screeh especially on slick surfaces

Nexen N2000 series

those are soft.depending on how hard the tread is when you push it is the easiet way to tell if they are able to move a bit easier than hard you can tell the difference. for instance get a goodyear integrity tire and a assurance triple tread, comparing two tires such as that you can tell the difference regardless of tread style.

General Exclaim UHP. Had 'em on my car for almost a year now, and they've given me ZERO problems. Fairly quiet, definitely grippy, and have TONS of tread left after several thousand miles (like 15000 at least!).

205/45/16 = ~$60 from www.tirerack.com

falken azenis:heart:

Toyo Proxes 4 FTW

no. the RE92 tires that come on a stock WRX are utter shit.

Falken Azenis RT-615's would be great for a WRX. That's what I would run.

hey, thats what I run on my rolla.

I wanted a set, but I only needed 2 new tires. And I didn't want to mix and match. LOL How's the wear?

i got em on my civic in 205/50/15...traction/temp is A and the threadwear is 200...i love em...they are awesome autocross tires!!

I only drive it once or twice a week so they're excellent!

I'll take it out for a few autoX runs this summer but I need to get another set of rims to mount advans on for the track. I want to run streets of willows this july.

Willow Springs? I envy you.

you and the other socal guys should go too.. its way closer to LA than SF

Perhaps during the summer when I have more time. We can arrange a meet or something there. I kind of want to see how my car performs on a track.

15,000 miles, I'd certainly hope you still had a bunch of tread left.

I used to use Yoko AVS ES100's, and those things just disappeared after about 20,000.

i use kumho ecsta asx. for the price, they are a good value for its performance.

i need to get new ones soon though.

Look in the for sale section I have a set for sale .... They are worth it..

Granted my tires are truck tires, but I've got 45k on my BF Goodrich on the old rims, and they've got 25% tread left. And they are the best performing AT tires I've ever used. I'm not sure how that relates to performance car tires, but definately don't use tires if they are super high performance and croak after so little mileage.

I'll never buy Yoko tires again for a daily driver car.

But I love the Generals. These things are great.

My last set of RT215 lasted about 9k worth of autoX/daily driving.. I think I squeezed 11k out of them before I actually replaced them.


nice and smooth

^^Hey, you can still use them as drag slicks! LOL

they aren't bad, although i prefer yokohoma or falkens
