Dont get nexens. They're not that great IMO.

Tire Kingdom installed Nexens on my car instead of Nittos and I didnt notice til I got home but I flipped out. They fixed it though

My vote is for Other - Nitto 555rs, if you cant afford those, get the Nitto Neo Gens.

Oh but looking at your poll options I do have to say that Hankooks are awesome. I tried winning those at The Run (I put in 40 tickets) but Limey won them

I have V12 in the front OEM bridgestone in the back. The V12 are good but the rubber compound is really soft compared to my potenzas in the back. They feel cheap compared to my bridgestones but they are a lot cheaper in price.

Yea, that's the one thing I worried about. They've got really good reviews, and everyone on the board seems to love them.

Just called my tire shop. Apparently my rears (which need to be replaced very soon) I only got 14k out of them. My fronts are good. Got them at 20k miles so far.

I had a set of Nexens on the rear, OMG worst tire ever. You get what you pay for that is for sure.

Beautiful tread pattern, awesome price. But absolutely no traction, slip light was flashing 24/7. It was just like I had skates on the rear, made me totally uncomfortable. In the rain forget it. But again I got what I paid for!
