Nitto NeoGen - 245/35/19

Do these tires really help prevent camber/toe wear on the inside edge of the tire like they claim, or is it all marketing BS/hype?

I'm running -3.0 camber on my front two wheels, and it's starting to eat my Toyo T1R's up for breakfast/lunch/dinner.

Anyone on here with first hand experience with these tires and lots of negative camber?

Although I wish NeoGens would come in 255/35, I will gladly settle for 245/35 if they help.

*I know I can get similar tread life out of the T1R's if I flip them, but that is inconvenient for me. THANKS FOR MOVING AWAY, GRANT!

i havent experienced it but have heard through friends of a friend that they do work...take that for what you want and good luck.

I guess theres no way for you to bring the camber back a little more?

I just ordered these from Don at tireoption, so I'll write a review after a few months. From what I read in other boards, everyone seems to really like them and all claim even tire wear.

I've been thinking about getting these too. I need to flip my Toyos to get a few thousand more miles out of them. But after that, I want some new tires and was considering these. What's the pricing like on these tires?

cheaper than T1R's - IMO. but cheap is relative.

I was quoted 336 shipped for (2) 245/35/19 NeoGens. (2) 255/35/19 T1R's are $450 picked up...or what is $400? I don't remember.

These are all season tires if I'm not mistaken... if they really prevent uneven tread wear as claimed, then they might even pay for themselves (partly anyway) if they did so well enough to not require an aftermarket camber kit with a modest (~1"+) drop.

i have been running these for about 15,000 miles and am very happy with them. I do have an eibach camber kit but i still have a little negative camber. These tires in my opinion are better than t1rs because for one you don't have to flip them. From past experiences once you flip a tire it never runs the same. You get more road noise and steering wheel vibrations. I would deifinately buy another set once these go out. They handle great in wet and dry applications.

It IS an all season tire and will thus not be up to par with any of the dedicated summer performance tires out there. Not a tire I would even consider based on that fact alone.

I don't need performance, LOL.

I just need tires that will last longer and safely get me from point A to point B in style - thus no telling me to go back to stock, LOL.

Same here. 99% of my driving is in the city, in traffic, where there is no chance at all of taking advantage of high performance tires. At this point, I just need a good tire that will last as long as possible. The T1-R's are nice but I just need something to get me from point A to point B like Calvin said.
