    got nexen's great!

    I had toyo proxes S1 in 16", great in a straight line but had to much roll. now have NEXEN 17 x 255 x 40 & find these really good allround. Ihave to agree with CHILI, best value around.

    My Trampios getting close to looking like slicks

    Just got prices to replace with -

    Toyo TPRI 265/40/17 $426.00
    Toyo TPRI 235/45/17 $319.00

    Nexen 3000 255/40/17 $198.00
    Nexen 3000 235/45/17 $179.00

    Hard to justify the extra $$$ for the Toyos

    Decision time Monday :sick:

    Cheers, Dean

    NANKANGs >>>

    I have the same size your are looking for on my 18s and they are about $200 per tyre... if that... they are also pretty good in the wet and the "model tyre" down from Falkens.

    They are good.

    I agree

    I have used NANKANG ultra sports NII tyres and was very happy with them. They are good in the dry, and have deep channels which make them good in the wet also. Bang for buck, they are great! They are a soft compound but last pretty well.
    I have some in my shed yet to be put on the Z (for 19" rims), so I took some pics so you can see the tread pattern. They are very similar to the Falken, which I'm using on my other car. Can't beat the look of G-grid if you ask me.

    Bottom line, really depends how much you want to spend.
