Nexen tires?

May as well have a reference here, if some poor dude starts doing a search for NEXEN tires (like me! )..and wants to know possibly..a bit about them?
Any good? specs seem too good to be true.

About the only thing that might fit, so far, that I've seen in their line up..is the N3000..a 265/35/18 Y rated tire.

340 treadwear, AA grip and A temp rating. Always wondered..who hands out those ratings?


N3000
Dynamic “V”-shape aqua pattern design.
The drainage performance has been maximized and driving comfortableness has been strengthened.
In addition, the riding comfort is improved by reducing the noise and vibration with a new dynamic pattern and sidewall design contributes not only the performance but also styling in highest efficiency.
The improvement of driving comfortableness.
The wider tread block in the center of tire makes handling and driving comfortableness satisfied and also, improves the comfortableness remarkably at high speed and increases impact absorption during driving at the rough road.
The highest turning ability at high speed.
The wider block design at shoulder part increases the strength of block and is superior to turning ability and elusion of unpredictable situation by raising the resistance to crosswise
Force.

The 265/35/18, with a Y speed rating (300k/hr) streets for about $230CN. (about $175US, I'm suspecting...as canada has a brutal tire tax)

I think I can forgive them on the bad english, as my Korean definitely sucks. I like bad english..it is sometimes quite amusing. (Saw a dating ad once, for example. The woman stated she would take care of the cooking..I think she meant to say. Instead, it read that she would take care of the 'cocking'. Too funny.)

Anyway, back to the rim jobs - The tires. That's dang cheap. Your mileage may vary!

Never heard of them, but hey for that price might as well give them the college effort! Keep us posted if you get them.
