Nice tires. They were on my top 3 list. I went with Nexen N2000 this time but Fuzion could be next. My last tires were Falken FK451 and they were fantastic. Let us know what you think of them after you try them for a while. I'll report on the Nexen's when I get a chance to use them in the spring. What size did you get? I put on 225/50/16's.

The traction is awesome... when I left the tire place I stomped on the gas and instead of spining it ripped the wheel out of my hand... almost went off the road.... as for the road noise and ride comfort.. its much better than the Conti's I only got a bout 50miles on them.. but so far so good.. I will let yall know... oh and the size .. 205/55 WR16

Nice I just had to replace my two front Nankang NS-II's...they're HORRIBLE in wet weather, and over just 3 months, the fronts have balded on both inner and outer shoulders.I replaced them with a pair of Kumho Ecsta ASX's, and will replace the rears in a couple weeks with the same:http://www.tirerack.com/tires/...A+ASXall season, W speed rated and a 420 treadwear rating - I'm happy, and they give awesome traction

Ok it was poring last night so I have some news on wet traction.... Put it this way... I can run it just as hard in the rain as I could on dry pavement... with little to no diffrence.. which is huge improvement over the Conti's I could barly stop my tires from spinning with teh Conti's on.. IMHO these are awesome tires... guess I'll find out about treadlife later down the road... but for now.. these are awesome...

Here's a pic:Great price for tires...but that all depends on quality, traction, etc. (never heard of Nexen..). Looks like a solid unidirectional tread, though.Does Nexen have a website?

MoonDogg, You still like these tires? I'll probably end up with a set in the next month. How are they wearing?
