Are you running a lot of negative camber?
If I'm not mistaken, these tires are made specially for cars with aggressive camber. Keep in mind they are asymmetrical, so they cannot be flipped.
They don't come in the sizes I'd like, though.

IMO the ride is not as good as with the Toyo. The handling is just fine except I think the Toyos handle a bit better in the rain. Also the Neo-gen lasted longer.
I dunno where you guys are located, but there is a small warehouse near Los Angeles where the price for the rears was $200 each tire. I doubt I will buy this brand again as the Toyos seem to be just a bit better and are the same price.

they are pretty good are quiet. also i have a fair bit of rear camber on my rear wheels and the tires as opposed to the stock pilots on my oems have held up about 10 times better. and also on a plus side these tires aren't too expencive

Most of the time I'm running 2.1 in rear and 1.75 front in the summer.
Since they will be primarily summer tires no worries there.
Most tires you can't flip anyway(I'm running T1R's) so don't know how that will be a issue.
Wanted to run 285-295 on rear but I will give in to 275 rear and 245 front for street.

I'm running them right now and I love them. I believe I'm about -2 all around on my camber IIRC and they have been wearing very nicely. I'm running Tein G S-Techs on stock shocks. I had Toyo T1-R's before this and they were shot on the inner part of the tread long before the rest of the tire. I ran these on my IS300 also which was lowered 2.5 inches all around and had great luck with them on it too. I highly recommend these tires as they have great grip in the dry and way above average in the rain and they aren't very loud either, plus they are alot more affordable without really sacrificing anything over the T1-R's.

I already flipped my T1R's but then again I only use them in the summer for street.
I have 3 set of tires:
Dunlop Winter M-sport for winter
Toyo T1R for street
Falken Azenis RT-615 for Autox
So none of my tires really get worn out but the T1R's are getting a little bald on the inside and I have already flipped them.
If the Nitto Neogens wear out as they say then they will surely out last the T1R's any day when running negative camber.

If your running alot of camber these are for you.
Hey aHero what sizes were you looking for?
