Hankooks I've heard have amazing grip. I personally have the Nexen n3000 on my car and love them. Great tire IMHO. And check tire savings I THINK they have 215/40s

 

No 215/40's for nexen =(

i can vouch for the hancooks..... they are nice and sticky but if you want to do any hard driving be prepared to replace them they dont last for $hit!


im getting the nexen for my next tire.... i have the falken astenis and i am in love with them but they dont have the size i need for my new rims :3_nooo:


ive herd good things about the nexen N3000

i dont drive hard at all.. just basically cruise around.. i will wanna take some hard corners and such sometime.. bt not often.

I have hankook snow tires and i think they are very good

But i like cheap.

what are you basing your estimate that the hankooks won't last as long?

 

nexen are amazing tires bro my dad had em on his 350z and they had good a$$ grip... i beat the sh!t outta that car when i had the chance lol... (not often) but my god, great tires for their price

 

hahahah a lot of people say its a good tire for its price. just kinda concerned of how some people have said that the side wall cracks?

idk, im just based on other peoples reviews...

 

I've had both tires. Theres no comparison. the Hankook k110's are by far superior. The reason so many people on this site like them is cause they are cheap and last a good while. However, let me point out that it doesn't really have much to do with the treadwear as far as how long the tires will last. What matters is how you drive them. You can still get great miles out of the hankooks if you just cruise on them (which it sounds like thats what you'll be doing). 20k easily.

As far as saftey/handling/braking goes, I went from the 3000's directly to the hankooks, and the diference was HUGE!!

From what I've read, I'd say Nexen's, good grip and better tire wear. I have Nexen's 3000's but not on the car yet.

 

NEXENs FTW...great tire

 

theres been more good reviews than bad reviews so far...

these are 100 extra bucks that i'll be throwing on the car payment.

im just really looking for something that will look good, that is SAFE. i agree that i shouldn't be cheaping out on tires but i really need to pay off the car this year.

sometimes, just because something is cheap.. doesn't mean that the tire sucks. which is why i am considering nexen.

dude told me on another forum...

"Nexen is like my rota wheels. People think they are cheap. But you will be surprise how many car enthusiast use them"

hah, i liked that.


so i'll be probbly buying these..

thanks guys!

 

i JUST picked up a bran new pair (just for the front) of Hankook K110 ventus v12 225/40/19 on my 19x8.5 fronts like 3 weeks ago.. my first set was Nankang NS2 225/40/19 (similar to nexens your comparing) and second set was the Falken FK452 235/35/19.. and i gotta say... the hankooks are amazing i the rain.. and alot of grip... i did hear someone complaining that the v12 wears out a little too fast but im not seeing any troubles so far, so... hankook v12 FTW!

 

215....that's a little stretched on an 18 inch tire.....might wanna go with 225 man

 

215 will do a little stretch on 7.5 rim. i currently have 225 but the sidewall is like a little chunky so 215 wont hurt anything besides... maybe my rim lip? lol nahh.. from what i've researched.. 215 wont make big difference..

 

nexens side walls are weak as hell

 

dont use the armor all tire spray..... that drys out the tire even more.... it has a warning right on the bottle

 

o really? what should i use then?
